Not My Time To Die  - Part 3

 

 

The film is the account of Robert S. Johnsons epic battle for survival on June 26th 1943 after he was attacked by Egon Mayer. His plane was attacked and he fell from 29,000ft to just 6,000ft before he regained control of his plane "Half Pint". He was then seen by Egon Mayer who pursued the stricken P-47. The film is Johnson's account of the events
