Jesse C. Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Guard is carrying a grease gun. Interesting as I thought production ended with the end of the 2nd WW. Hardly saw any service during WWII as production issues kept it out of service. Intended to replace the Thompson sub, but, never really did. They where used in Korea and Vietnam and kept in tanks and armored vehicles well into the 90's General Motors M3 Submachine gun 2 Quote Link to comment
Jesse C. Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 The U.S. offered a reward to any North Korean pilot who defected with a Mig 15 and when it did happen, the defecting pilot did not even know about the reward!! 2 Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I think you are thinking of the Me163 Komet Actually, according to Herr Doktor Hohman [the test pilot of the number 2 aircraft] more were lost on landing due the volatile fuel and oxidizer mix. 1 Quote Link to comment
