Скачать или смотреть They Mocked His P-51 “Suicide Dive” — Until He Shredded 12 Enemy Trucks in a Single Pass

WW2, May 1944. Northern France. Lieutenant Robert Strobell defies every rule of aerial combat when he points his P-51 Mustang into a sixty-degree dive—an angle every pilot has been told will kill you. At seven hundred feet per second, he screams toward a German supply convoy with nothing between him and impact but eighteen seconds and a theory about geometry that no one has dared to test.

What happens next will rewrite ground-attack doctrine across the Allied air forces. In a single pass, Strobell destroys twelve trucks with surgical precision, using gravity and calculated angles to turn his fighter into a vertical sniper rifle. The gun camera footage leaves intelligence officers stunned. Within weeks, his technique spreads across fighter groups, tripling convoy destruction rates and strangling German logistics during the critical months after D-Day. Yet Strobell never seeks glory—just better math.

This is the untold story of how a farm boy from Ohio revolutionized aerial warfare not through recklessness, but through patience, physics, and the courage to question what everyone else accepted as impossible.
