WW2 Cycles (and planes!)

[Oldfisti]

I have an uncle who flew a Spitfire for the RCAF in WWII.  He doesn't talk much about it, actually does not talk about it at all.  Visiting him once, I picked up a book about the RCAF from his bookshelf and found a paper in it, it was a commendation.  He was in a dogfight during the Battle of Britain and ran out of ammo while pursuing a German fighter.  The German did not know he was out of ammo and my uncle managed to fly him into the ground.  Then, he flew back up into the fight, got on the tail of another German and flew him into the ground.   Took two German fighters out with no ammunition.  I think about this all the time and that's all I can do is think about it because it's beyond my imagination.
