I get where your coming from Loopman. Everyone who sees the scheme will have to ask about it, leading to a discussion where you can tell them the story about how the leading Romanian Ace (Constantin Cantacuzino) stuck the ranking POW down in the belly of the plane and flew him out. Cantacuzino's story alone is very interesting. After he dropped off the POW, he jumped in a P-51 and escorted a bunch of bombers back to get the rest of the prisoners. He performed aerobatics in the P-51 that dazzled the Americans. He may be the only pilot during the war to shoot down Soviet, British, US, and German Airplanes.

If you'd like to here more of his story, go here.
