The Plane That Wouldn't Die!
Storyline
The new "Sparrow" assigned to the Mustang plane squadron gets #777, the plane that always takes a beating but fulfills the mission. Except the plane gets credit for the kills on the board, not the pilot. The pilot attacks tanks, blows bridges, rams two planes, and ejects - and the plane still sinks a killer battleship. But the next day he's assigned the new #777, "the legend of the plane that wouldn't die", and off he flies again.
