Quote:"In 1942," he says, "the situation was really tough.  The Germans had a very strong air force. I remember," he continues, "one day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly,out of the clouds, these fokkers appeared."
 
Quote:There are a few gasps from the parishioners, and several of the children began to giggle."I looked up, and realized that two of the fokkers were directly above me. I aimed at the first one and shot him down. By then, though, the other fokker was right on my tail."
