a light lit up an entire room as staff began putting together what seemed like cameras and props, in the middle of the room seemed to be a cockpit taken from an A-1H skyraider, the director entered in and told everyone to get to work as the actor also arrived in he got dressed up in a pilots outfit, the actor stepped in the cockpit and closed the canopy behind him was a huge green screen today they were going to be filming a dogfight.

the fake cockpit started as it rumbled giving the simulation of a real propeller engine, the director gave a thumbs up "action!"

1941, african theater of war, battle of houmt souk

the city was under siege as an entire division of troops poured into the city both from sochrain side, the only air support they were getting were the now outdated A1-H skyraider which was very vulnerable to regular flak cannons.

the scene shifted it wasn't from the set nor from the movie it was real life "this is charlie actual come in warchief! requesting ground strike on my location multiple armoured vehicles have gotten us pinned down need support ASAP!", a soldier from the ground called out to a skyraider "warchief to charlie actual copy hold on tight air support coming your way ETA 20 seconds", he pulled his aircraft on an attack vector as he saw the vehicles he let loose with 20MM cannon fire destroying a half track before dumping 4 rockets into a panzer 3 causing it to literally pop the turret "woo! good strike warchief thanks for the support I'll buy you a beer back at base!", he chuckled to himself but his confidence was soon shattered "this is air command to all aerial units, multiple enemies spotted crossing into the aerial combat zone watch your 6 people!", the skyraiders up in the air became wary the earlier sky raider that was striking ground targets saw bullets passing by his canopy.

He pulled hard on the stick and made his aircraft roll upside down he knew his extra weight was going to be a detriment so he dropped all of his bombs and rockets as the BF-109 came closer he realized what was going to happen, he was about to be surrounded by other BF-109s, he turned to a BF-109 that was lining up a shot on him and squeezed the trigger, 4 shells hit the enemy plane tearing a big hole on the wing and ripping off an aeleron as he squeezed the trigger again, another 10 shells hit the 109 causing it to catch on fire and plummet into the ground, he forced the 109 behind him to pull off as they were just a 150 feet off the ground going in a high urban area.

the 109 made a mistake as the skyraider turned with its engines on full power towards it unleashing a flurry of 20MM shell fire at the fleeing 109 the shells hit the fuesalage and caused a fuel explosion causing the plane to suddenly burst into fire and falls to the ground he saw the next one diving on his friend and went to intercept, he fired a 2 second burst at the fighter lining the side fuesalage with 20MM cannon holes and as the engine got hit by a shell the 109 began to loose power as he lined up another burst and squeezed the trigger, firing a .5 second burst at the tail causing the fighter to loose control horizontally and fall down, the pilot managed bail out of the doomed plane as it plummeted into the ground.

"good kill! thanks for saving my ass chief!" the fellow skyraider said through the radio as the chief just chuckled "no problem get back home safe kiddo don't die", the chief sounded old and gruffy as the other skyraider turned away to go and support more ground based units "stay alive old man I'm buying you a beer when we get back", the day went smoothly after that as the german air units retreated the city was finally taken, the chief spent all of his ammo loitering around and destroying light vehicles, so he went back to base before the battle ended.

present day

overseeing the entire project was the chief himself he wasn't too happy for his portrayal as it depicted the skyraider having 30MM guns but it was far too late to change it as he was brought later in, he sighed and stepped out of the room and finally after years closed the chapter on his book about beeing a pilot.
