Скачать или смотреть They Shot Down His P-51 Mustang — So He Stole a German Fighter and Flew It Home

On November 2, 1944, USAAF fighter pilot Bruce Carr was shot down in his North American P-51 Mustang deep behind German lines over Czechoslovakia. Stranded without a radio, with almost no supplies, and winter approaching fast, the logical choice was clear: surrender.

Carr chose something no training manual could have predicted.

He slipped onto an active Luftwaffe airfield, climbed into a Focke-Wulf Fw 190, and worked out the unfamiliar controls through trial and error. In the dark, he managed to start the engine, take off, and fly low across the front lines — all while both German anti-aircraft crews and Allied gunners tried to shoot him down.

This is the true World War II story of one of the most astonishing escapes in aviation history: a downed Mustang pilot who stole an enemy fighter and flew it back to friendly territory.
