During World War II, Polish pilots in Great Britain were famous for showing off their flying skills. One morning, I was returning from a flight test and made the mistake of beginning my land approach (降落) at too low a speed. Just as I crossed the airfield, something was wrong with my plane and it dropped from 2000 feet onto the landing trip and bounced back (弹起) into the air.
I gave it full speed, but the plane leaned onto its left wing, and I was off the runway. In despair, I cut all power and used full right brake (制动闸)。 The plane turned 180 degrees back onto the landing trip, tail first. The firm P51 was not damaged. "Did you see that plane?" a visiting air official said breathlessly.
"Don‘t worry, sir," the Air Force commanding officer replied, "it’s only one of those Polish pilots trying to show off"。
