Dateline 14 October 1943.
Lieutenant Nesmith guided his PBY past the volcanic island of Amukta on the Aleutian Islands patrol from Anchorage. His gunner in the fuselage blister excitedly reported an aircraft to starboard. Nesmith could just make out that it was a single engined aircraft.
“Jesus, I heard those new P51’s were long ranged but I didn’t expect to see one out here. I’m going to take a look.”
He swung the plane round and approached the yellow nosed fighter.
“Hell that aint no stars on the wings of that plane. There’s swastikas on that thing.”
He turned to flee but it was already too late. Cannon flames erupted from the wings of the Me109F. As the Catalina went down an unforeseen future consequence was a different member of 60’s band the Monkees as Nesmith’s genetic line was obliterated.
Hauptmann Hermann landed the Me 109 on the makeshift airstrip.
“I think I got him before he could radio for assistance. He never knew what hit him.”
The SS ObersturmFuhrer in charge of the combined Amerikabomber mission congratulated him as he dismounted from the wing.
“The He277’s are well camouflaged, but who knows, eh Hermann?”
The giant four engined bombers had been assembled from packing crates in the hold of a Texan Jew hating Nazi sympathiser shipping magnate’s freighter.
