I am the innate aviation holy body!

This made Zhang Yong quite proud and wanted to show off.

Planes coming from the southeast...

Is it Nanchang?

Flying from Nanchang to Jinling?

possible.

During this period, planes continued to transfer.

Chiang Kai-shek defeated Nan Tianwang, but the person who benefited the most was the Aviation Committee and the National Air Force.

Nantianwang has many aircraft. Although they are all very backward biplanes.

However, after all, the numbers are there, and many pilots have been trained.

There are few records of these Cantonese pilots in later historical materials. However, it is certain that they all joined the National Air Force and participated in the war against Japan.

Since the August 14th air battle in 1937, the battle between the National Air Force and the Japanese invaders has never subsided.

For a period of time, due to the lack of aircraft, the national air force was completely passive and vulnerable.

However, there is never a shortage of pilots in the National Air Force.

Whether it is the early stage or the later stage, the number of pilots is sufficient.

A heroic batch, a supplementary batch.

One after another, there is an endless stream.

The Aviation Commission has indeed worked hard to train pilots.

Although their combat experience was insufficient and their results were not outstanding, they never stopped and never flinched.

No matter when there are planes, there are pilots flying them.

Even after the arrival of the Soviet Aviation Volunteer Corps and the American Aviation Volunteer Corps, China's own pilots were still a very important part.

Most of the pilots are students from wealthy families. They have received good education since childhood. They have never fallen behind in protecting their homeland and country.

Unfortunately, the number of aircraft severely restricted the performance of pilots.

Due to the insufficient number of aircraft and lagging performance, high-level training cannot be carried out.

well……

After all, the country is still weak!

We still have to find a way to get more planes. Do it by any means necessary.

Turn right.

The plane was shaking violently.

"Let go!"

"The radius is too small!"

"Let go!"

Chen Shanben shouted sharply from behind.

Zhang Yong then let go of his hand, and the biplane gradually regained its balance.

Oh, it's okay. It's pretty safe. There's no such thing as stalling.

As long as you don't seek your own death or forcefully push the joystick to hit the ground, frankly speaking, the chance of a crash is very small.

Of course, if it is an engine failure, let's talk about it separately. However, even if the engine fails, it can still glide lightly and make an emergency landing.

The biggest fear is that the wing will break. Then it is really hopeless.

But the canvas-covered wings also have an advantage. Bullets can penetrate them casually without much impact.

Even if the canvas is punctured with a few bullet holes, or dozens of bullet holes, it seems to have no effect on the air flow. As long as it does not catch fire, it is still safe.

In fact, the most fatal thing is still the pilot being shot.

Because the pilot's cockpit has no protection. Any bullet can penetrate it.

Unlike various later old and American fighter jets, the fuel tank has a self-sealing function. It can be quickly closed even if it is penetrated by a bullet. There will be no oil leakage.

The pilot's cockpit, front, rear, left, right, and bottom are all protected by thick steel plates. Ordinary 7mm bullets cannot penetrate it at all.

The most typical one is the P-38 Twin Devil.

The protection for pilots is almost like a fortress. There is no fear of Japanese machine guns at all.

The fuel tank has a self-sealing function. It also has two engines. The fuel tank capacity is large. It is also equipped with six machine guns. It is simply a crazy aerial butcher knife.

There is nothing to be afraid of in air combat.

The final result was that even Yamamoto Isoroku was killed by it.

Continue to turn right.

Not so anxious this time. The radius is slightly larger.

The biplane tilted, but it was okay. I felt nothing. It turned smoothly to the southwest.

The plane appearing on the opposite side is getting closer and closer.

Adjust direction.

Stagger a little distance to avoid head-on collision.

Aircraft of this era do not have automatic collision avoidance recognition. It would not be surprising if they collide head-on.

Hold on.

Open your eyes and look to the left.

Sure enough, twenty seconds later, a commercial airliner appeared in the upper left corner.

Huh?

It’s actually a civilian airliner?

I thought it was a military plane coming from Nanchang!

Error in judgment.

But it's okay.

Never mind the plane. Maps proved useful.

It is really possible to discover aviation targets from a distance of 12 nautical miles (22 kilometers). You can prepare in advance.

Well, there was a slight error in the altitude judgment. He just forgot to check the details of the aircraft mark. He didn't notice the altitude difference.

The biplane piloted by Zhang Yong flew at an altitude of about 1,000 meters. The altitude of the civil airliner was about 1,200 meters. The difference was about 200 meters. Adding the horizontal distance between the two sides, it seemed even further away. It was completely unclear.

.

So I continued to turn.

He was ready to catch up.

I'm just bored. Let's see if I can fly with a commercial airliner.

Large radius turns.

"What are you going to do?" Chen Shanben shouted from behind.

"I'm going to chase the passenger plane just now." Zhang Yong replied.

"It has passed."

"I'll catch up and have a look."

"If there is a slight deviation in the bearing or altitude, the target will be lost."

"let me try."

Zhang Yong did not explain in too much detail.

Check the altitude of the target passenger plane. It is still about 1,200 meters.

Go, climb.

Climb to an altitude of 1,200 meters. Then accelerate horizontally and approach.

finally……

See the target again.

"Huh?"

Chen Shanben was a little surprised.

Does this Zhang Yong have such a good sense of direction?

In the air, you can actually locate the target accurately? This is a very powerful skill!

For pilots, superb skills are important. However, what is more important is consciousness. It is the sense of direction. It is the judgment of the possible location and height of the target.

In the era before radar, pilots relied entirely on visual observation or their own consciousness to fight in the air.

Radio transmission has many flaws.

Moreover, it is impossible to accurately describe the complex battle situation in the radio.

You have to rely on yourself for everything.

Rely on superior consciousness to make correct judgments.
