WWII Veteran Aviator Bill Overstreet and His P-51 Mustang, “Berlin Express”

"The German’s engine was hit, and Bill stayed on his tail braving the intense enemy flak. His desperation undoubtedly growing, the German pilot aimed his plane at the Eiffel Tower and in a surprising maneuver, flew beneath it. Undeterred, Bill followed right behind him, scoring several more hits in the process. The German plane crashed and Bill escaped the heavy flak around Paris by flying low and full throttle over the river until he had cleared the city’s heavy anti-aircraft batteries."

This was just one of his many close encounters with death in the air. He was a truly remarkable pilot.
