Heroic Shot With A 1911

[mrjarrell]

From the annals of the USAAF comes this heartwarming little story of 2d Lt. Owen J. Baggett who, over the jungles of Burma, made an historic shot with his 1911. He shot and killed a Japanese Zero pilot in midair. Now that's a shooter!

Valor: David and Goliath

Excellent story, and glad he made the shot. That Zero pilot deserved it for attacking guys in parachutes.
