The high and low double-group formation tactic invented by Lieutenant Colonel Novotney made its debut in the "Newfoundland Air Battle" on April 8, and achieved satisfactory results. The 12 German me262t squadrons were divided into 36 4-aircraft high and low double-group formations, each high and low double-group formation specializing in one f7f. First, the two me262ts flying in front and at a height were launched. They relied on their excellent high-altitude performance and speed to launch a dive attack on the back of the f7f, but there were no machine guns. If they wanted to have a feint attack, they could not fly at a height of 10,000 meters, so they were beaten. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight f7fs were fired by the 30mm cannon of the me262t and were dragged down with black smoke.

The faster-responsive f7f began to dive, and as a result it hit the muzzle of the "low group" of the high and low double-group formation of me262t. The f7f driven by Thom, who had a pair of far-sighted eyes, unfortunately hit two me262ts, and was sieve by the 8-door 30mm-caliber mk108 aircraft carrier, and then fell down while spinning.

Captain Bush's luck (the luck of the two US presidents) was good, and he was not targeted by me262t, but he witnessed one of his wingmen flying like lightning and a fireball was shot by two me262t.

"Not a match at all!" Captain Bush gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

The f7f is also a very excellent heavy fighter, perhaps the best of its kind. However, at extremely high altitude, it is no match for jet aircraft at all. The latter's speed is almost 300 kilometers per hour faster than it, and it can easily seize advantageous positions and open fire. Moreover, the 4-door 30mm cannon of the me262t is too cruel, and the f7f cannot withstand it no matter how strong it is.

Escape! Must escape to the low and medium altitude! Captain Bush quickly made a decision. While reporting the ambushed by me262 to his superiors through the radio, he drove f7f and dived rapidly, trying to get rid of me262t's pursuit.

Almost all the surviving F7F pilots in the sky had the same idea, so the encounter over ten thousand meters quickly turned into one-sided pursuit. From time to time, the storm in the dive was hit by the me262t cannon, or crashed with smoke, or turned into a fireball. The screams of horror kept coming from the headphones brought by Captain Bush. Some of the pilots of the hit planes howled in despair. This place was not over Newfoundland Island, but the endless North Atlantic Ocean below, and the water temperature is still very low now, so it is difficult for pilots to save them! Some were the pilots who were frightened by the death of their comrades and shouting.

However, Captain Bush was not panicked. He was an old bird who fought the war of attrition in the Hawaiian Islands. He shot down and injured 27 Japanese planes, and he was shot down by the Japanese five times. He had long since known what was going on.

At this moment, the real crisis had already emerged. Captain Bush's eyes suddenly began to turn black and his vision became very blurred. This is the so-called "black vision", which is a physiological phenomenon caused by the overload caused by the accelerated dive of the aircraft. If the "black vision" is further intensified, it is very likely to cause fainting. At that time, Captain Bush's plane will crash because there is no man driving it.

Bush, who knew he might faint, did not immediately pull up the fighter plane that was diving at high speed, because he knew that black sight and red sight (more dangerous than black sight) not only belonged to American pilots, but German pilots would also encounter such trouble. Now it depends on who can't stand the pull of the plane first!

In addition, the f7f has excellent dive performance, the fuselage is very strong, and there is no problem with rushing to a speed of 900 km/h. Although the me262t can theoretically rush faster, the fuselage and the pilot's ability to withstand it has a limit. Therefore, when comparing the dive ability, the me262t is not stronger than f7f.

So Captain Bush's choice was completely correct, and he achieved the expected results later. The two me262ts chasing behind him dived to an altitude of about 7,500 meters and then pulled up the nose and flew away. In fact, these me262ts were ordered by Little Hessman to support the me264 fleet that was about to be attacked by P-47.

At an altitude of about 7,200 meters, Captain Bush, who was almost fainting, finally pulled up his f7f. He did not fly flat, but continued to fall at a smaller angle and slower speed. Then he looked back and saw that there was no trace of me262 in his dark eyes, so he breathed a sigh of relief and finally escaped from death!

Being ambushed by me262 jet fighter above 10,000 meters, it is the biggest fear of all American pilots. But where did they come from? It is close to Newfoundland Island, and there are no islands controlled by the Germans nearby.

Where did these jets with the size and f7f come from? Did they take off from the German aircraft carrier?

Captain Bush, who had not yet fully recovered from black vision, was dizzyly thinking about the origin of these damn me262s. Whose shouts sounded in his headphones: "Enemy plane! It's Folk plane!"

Folk plane?

The groggy Captain Bush suddenly shuddered. As a veteran of the Pacific battlefield, can he still not know the reputation of the Folk aircraft? The Folk Zero (Americans call Japan's Zero also called the Folk aircraft) was a trump card model that could fight all over the world in the early days of the Pacific War. On the Atlantic battlefield, the Folk 636 recreated the Folk myth again. It is the king below 5,000 meters, and at a mid-to-high altitude of 5,000-7,000 meters, the Folk 636 is still one of the best fighters. As for the above 7,000 meters, the one who is king is undoubtedly the me262 jet fighter!

"Captain, Folk aircraft, at 9 o'clock, is climbing." Captain Bush's navigator Sergeant Halton shouted.

Captain Bush looked left and found four climbing Folk 636s, about 6,000 meters away.

The climbing performance of the Folk 636 is very good, and the dual-engine heavy-duty machine like the f7f is not as good as that. As for the circle fighting, even the p-51 cannot handle it, let alone the f7f? Its only weakness is that the performance at high altitude is not particularly ideal, but...

Captain Bush didn't know that the me262 in the sky had flew away. However, even if he got the report, he wouldn't dare to fly too high. Those terrible jets had already knocked him out of his heart.

"Captain, they are about to climb over our heads and are about to dive attack!" Bush's navigator Sergeant Halton shouted again.

Bush, who was still a little dizzy, knew that he could not climb like his opponent, nor could he dive again. First, his body had not recovered yet, and second, he was not even a match for the Folk aircraft when he rushed to medium and low altitude. However, Bush still had a way, and he looked at the altimeter: 7100 meters. This is the speed of the f7f that can reach the maximum airspace. Bush drove the medium and high altitude f7f, rather than the medium and low altitude f7f used to attack the surface fleet, so this aircraft could fly the fastest speed at an altitude of 7400 meters.

In addition, both engines of the f7f are equipped with combustion aid devices, which can obtain a short period of additional power by adding water and methanol to the engine cylinders. This system that "drugs" the engine is not effective at all heights, and the airspace between 7,000 and 9,000 meters is the height at which it plays a role.

Through the afterburner of the combustion-assisted device, Captain Bush's f7f can achieve an extreme speed of nearly 760 km/h in 10 minutes, which is enough to get rid of the pursuit of the Fokker 636, which mainly focuses on medium and low altitude (the Fokker 636's maximum speed is not slower than the F7f, but the extreme speed is 6,000 meters, and its engine performance has declined).

So Captain Bush immediately made the most correct choice to fly at a fast speed.

"Nick, sit firmly, we're going to fly!" Bush turned on the combustion-assisted afterburner system, the aircraft engine suddenly roared loudly, and the propeller's speed suddenly accelerated, generating huge forward momentum. In the blink of an eye, he threw away the Fock aircraft that was trying to bite his tail. Although in this process, two Fock aircraft that used dive acceleration chased for a while and fired a 20mm cannon, the distance was too far, and Bush did not hurt half a hair.

However, not all f7fs made the right choice at the first time, and not everyone was as lucky as Bush. Therefore, the robbery of the Fokker 636 at a height of 7,000 meters still achieved good results. Just after being beaten by the me262 above 10,000 meters, the f7f aircraft group was hit hard again. In just a dozen minutes, seventy or eighty f7fs were beaten to smoke. The results of these Fokker aircraft were even better than the previous me262!

And more than 100 me262s that killed the f7f fleet, and at this time, they encountered the p-47d that was preparing to attack the me264 fleet. Although the high-altitude performance of the p-47d is much stronger than that of the f7f, it is still not worth seeing if it encounters jets over 10,000 meters.

The p-47d, who was originally planning to act as a hunter, suddenly became prey and no longer had the intention to attack me264.
