VFR800 Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 19 year old P-47 Thunderbolt pilot examining propeller damage caused by a German flak shell, 1944. Lt. Edwin Wright returned to base from Münster, Germany, after completing his 39th mission. Upon landing he noticed just how close he was to certain death after finding an 8-inch wide hole in one of the 11-inch wide propellor blades caused by a direct hit from anti-aircraft artillery. This was the 6th time he was struck by flak, earning him the nickname "Lucky Wright". 1 Quote Link to comment
