Passing low over a German airfield, it was spotted by Franz Stigler who raced to intercept, just one victory away from receiving the Knight's Cross. What happened next would be called one of the most incredible acts of kindness between enemies. Thanks to Adam Makos for allowing us to use the footage of the first meeting of Stigler and Brown.

In the skies over Korea at the height of the Cold War, Soviet fighter aces secretly fought against the UN forces. Northwest Korea over the Yalu river, also known as MiG Alley is where most of these engagements occurred. The US pilots named these talented aviators "Honchos". The Head Honcho that patrolled over MiG Alley, was nicknamed "Casey Jones" or "Ol' Casey". Flying a MIG 15 bis with a special paint job, Casey Jones was none other than Soviet WW2 pilot Sergei Kramarenko. Thanks to Vika for translating the information from the Russian sources. In particular Sergei Kramarenko's memoire, "Against Messerschmitts and Sabre Jets. In the Sky of Two Wars" by Sergei Kramarenko. We also took references from the excellent book F-86 Sabre vs MiG-15: Korea 1950-53 by Douglas C. Dildy and Warren Thompson. Yarnhub uses the Unreal® Engine.

During the defense of Leningrad a well laid trap resulted in a spectacular victory with just 1 tank taking out 22 German Tanks and 2 Anti-tank guns. Zinoviy Kolobanov commanded his KV-1 to deal a crushing blow to the invaders. In total, in and around "Tank Alley" 5 Russian KV-1s destroyed 43 tanks. Despite being repeatedly hit, the thick armor of the KV-1 was key to the success of the operation. Thanks to one of our viewers, Vadim, for sending us the footage of Tank Alley today.
