This is the true story of World War II ace Richard Peterson who killed a German pilot in his parachute in one of the most brutal dogfighting stories of World War II. This historical recreation was made using the World War II flight simulator IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles series.
You wonder though how well orders were followed on the battlefield.
All you need to remember is how German soldiers massacred American prisoners at Malmedy.
And how the Israelis murdered 3,000 Egyptian prisoners in the Sinai during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. This was the reason the Israelis attacked the USS Liberty trying to sink her. The Liberty had picked up electronic evidence of this atrocity.
McGonagle, the Captain of the Liberty was awarded the Medal of Honor in a PRIVATE ceremony. Those awards are usually very public since they want everyone to know about them.
When word the Liberty was under attack reached U.S., planes were launched from the USS Saratoga to the Liberty's defense, but they were recalled.
