Parachute Assault on Crete, Not the Scene of Col. Baggett Via WW2Today

Col. Own J. Baggett of the US Air Force brought down a Japanese aircraft. Not all that interesting, right? Well, he did this while parachuting, with his M1911 pistol by hitting the pilot in the head. Not much left to say here. That is some serious nerves of steel, or one of the luckiest shots in history.
