Looking at Chris Taylor walking from a distance, Zhou Zhihan said casually: "I have flown this aircraft before and I am very familiar with it. There is no need to fly it again."
While at Randolph Air Force Academy, he flew all models of Spitfires, including Messerschmitts and other famous aircraft.
"Sir! Have you flown this Spitfire? This is the Spitfire that just rolled off the production line, and you are also the first batch of pilots to receive this Spitfire IIA." Second Lieutenant Ruben Vagan said curiously, his eyes widening. There are three words written in the eyes - are you sure?
"Ha..." Zhou Zhihan smiled. He knew he had made a mistake and spread his palms, "I mean, the operation of this Spitfire is almost the same as the A214 Spitfire I flew yesterday. The only difference is the shooting. Distance, you can only know it by shooting or flying on the battlefield.”
"Let me tell you, this model of Spitfire just came off the production line a few days ago. It just arrived here this morning. Unless you have flown it in your dream." The technical officer also smiled and handed over the technical instruction manual of the Type IIA Spitfire. Zhou Zhihan said, "Oh, by the way, sir! The Royal Air Force Technical Headquarters specially asked me to write a report on your test flight experience and submit it. They said that you are a phenomenal top ace, and your suggestions and opinions are very important to the spray." The subsequent improved model of Huo IIA is very important."
"Then let's fly around!"
Zhou Zhihan said. Since everyone regards himself as a phenomenal ace.
Although he could tell all the performance and best operating methods of this Spitfire IIA without flying, doing so was obviously unreasonable in the eyes of technical officer Second Lieutenant Ruben Vagan.
Chrissy Taylor, who was wearing an Air Force uniform without a military cap and her thick blond hair pulled into a bun, smiled as she watched Zhou Zhihan sit in the brand new Spitfire IIA, then accelerate, pull up, and take off like an old dog, the corners of her mouth The arc is sweeter.
Last night, she learned from the slightly drunk Karen that the relationship between Zhou Zhihan and Karen was not intimate and seamless, and was limited to holding hands and hugging...
After Zhou Zhihan took off, he climbed upward at full speed. After the Spitfire IIA's power was improved, it gave people a feeling of being completely transformed.
At an altitude of 4,500 meters, the flight speed of the Spitfire IIA reached 565 kilometers. When using dual supercharging, the speed increased to an astonishing 592 kilometers, which was evenly matched with the speed of Messerschmitt.
It quickly climbed to 6,500 meters in seven minutes and thirty seconds? Twenty seconds faster than Messerschmitt.
In particular, the new dive performance brought by the constant speed propeller has greatly improved the dive performance of this Spitfire IIA. When the fighter aircraft climbed to 9,000 meters, it dived with the cold pressure bar, and the speed became faster and faster. The aircraft body was strong and stable without appearing. There is no abnormal sound. When the Spitfire IA dives at high speed, the stubborn problem of stalling or even stopping due to the inability to deliver enough fuel due to the use of ordinary carburetors is this improvement. This improvement is the highlight of the Spitfire IIA.
The "two-step" tail rudder pedal is very user-friendly. During normal flight, it is very comfortable for the pilot to put his feet on the bottom pedal. During combat, moving his feet to the upper pedal can make the pilot's sitting posture stable and make more agile maneuvers. ? But the controllability during high-speed flight has still not been effectively solved.
There was no need to show off his skills in front of his own people. Zhou Zhihan flew in a decent manner for a few times before landing steadily.
There was applause all around.
The commander-in-chief did not show off his skills like other pilots, which made everyone respect him more.
Several ground crew members came over and continued to dress up the Spitfire in the hangar with Zhou Zhihan.
An orderly ran over. He received a call just from the Air Force Headquarters and told Zhou Zhihan that if he wanted, the Blue Sky and White Sun emblem could be painted on the fuselage of this Spitfire IIA fighter jet.
Air Force Secretary Chibod Sinclair proposed at a cabinet meeting this morning that in recognition of Zhou Zhihan's great contribution to opening the Calais port route, an exception could be made to spray-paint the blue sky and white sun emblem on his fighter planes.
After a short discussion, the cabinet members unanimously agreed to pass!
The national emblems of the two countries were spray-painted on a fighter jet to highlight the significance of the alliance!
Colonel Zhou Zhihan, chief instructor of the Air Force from China, deserves this honor!
Although China and Britain had not signed the Allies Agreement at this time, Britain opened the Burma Highway in advance to show its sincerity, and the two countries were actually in an alliance.
This decision was not only an encouragement to Zhou Zhihan, but also an incentive to all personnel from other countries who came to Britain to participate in the war.
The faces of pilots and ground crews in occupied countries such as Poland, the Netherlands, France, and Belgium were full of envy. Everyone was secretly encouraging that one day, they would also paint their national emblem on the fuselage of British fighter jets, so that the glory of the motherland would shine in the sky. Show!
The position behind the cockpit of all Spitfire fuselages is the unshakable logo of the Royal Air Force. Zhou Zhihan decided to spray-paint the blue sky and white sun emblem on the two wings to make it shine.
Immediately, several ground staff began to calculate the proportions of the blue sky and white sun emblem on the wing.
Zhou Zhihan used brief professional terms to comment on the advantages and disadvantages of this Spitfire IIA fighter jet. Technical Lieutenant Vagan quickly recorded it and would sort it out in detail later when he went back.
After the technical officer left, Fias Christelle took out a large German propaganda leaflet from the folder and handed it to Zhou Zhihan: "This is a challenge letter sent to you by the German Air Force. It just came from London." Brought back by the Kirk's evacuation ship."
Zhou Zhihan glanced at the flyer and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
This is a bilingual leaflet in German and English, with Chinese in key places.
So considerate!
During World War II, Germany had an indispensable shortage of ace pilots.
In the future, there will definitely be some ace battles like this.
That's fine. The more trump cards shot down, the more China's voice will be raised internationally, and the more people around the world will be able to see clearly the Chinese people's determination to resist the war and their unyielding belief in victory!
This leaflet is divided into several sections. It is nothing more than the German Air Force saying that the British Royal Air Force was unable to fight back against the German Air Force and suffered heavy losses. When the Guizhou donkey was at the end of his skills, it blew the air combat skills of a yellow man from the Sick Man Country of East Asia to the sky. , infinitely exaggerating its achievements in newspapers to encourage the increasingly decadent military morale of the British Royal Air Force, and to win over the hearts of the defeated people to work for them and survive.
This leaflet also creatively uses cartoons to depict a group of Chinese pilots stepping out of the surviving old-fashioned fighter planes and groveling in front of the Japanese Zero fighters to illustrate that the Chinese Air Force has been defeated by the Japanese Zero fighters. The fighter jets lost their helmets and armor, completely losing control of the sky and losing their fighting spirit. The text was sarcastic, saying how could China, which cannot even make bayonets and needs to import and imitate them, cultivate super ace pilots.
At the end of the leaflet, it was written that if the flying skills of this yellow man from China and the Sick Man Country of East Asia could still compete, he would fly over Dunkirk and compete with Germany's ace pilots for the world to see. , is it the German pilots who are able to smile proudly in the sky, or are the Chinese pilots better because they are sallow, thin, short and weak?
Fias Christelle looked at Zhou Zhihan with her beautiful eyes: "I think this leaflet should have arrived at the Air Force Headquarters or even the cabinet members, and they will call you soon."
Zero war! Go to hell, I will take good care of you when I get back. Zhou Zhihan cursed secretly, folded this leaflet, and put it properly in his pocket. He will wait until one day to defeat Germany's number one ace Hardman, and then put this leaflet away. The leaflets were sent back to the Luftwaffe.
Seeing Zhou Zhihan folding flyers and not saying anything, Second Lieutenant Christelle frowned and said in a worried and concerned tone: "I have said before that being too dazzling may not be a good thing. In the end, you will definitely become the target of public criticism and be put on the shelf. Roast."
