Commander Alexander Vraciu has Also Passed

[+Dave 2,318]

He died on the 29th of January at the age of 96. This Ace shot down 6 Japanese bombers in less than 8 minutes but the fact he only used 360 some rounds was even more amazing. He was a master marksman in the air. He would fire short 5 second bursts right where the rounds needed to go. He had a habit of racking up multiple kills in single missions while some pilots were trying just to get one. He was one hell of a fighter pilot.

 

RIP sir.
