Reply to comment by guimontag in TIL that in WW2, a Marine Corps Corsair pilot used his propeller to chew off the tail of an enemy aircraft after his guns jammed, while under fire from the enemy plane's tailgunner. The enemy plane crashed but the Corsair pilot made it back to base, receiving the Navy Cross for his actions. by hipster_deckard

Oh wow... Good thing that prop is like 14 ft in diameter

edit: 13.2ft diameter unless super corsair prototype which is 14.2ft

Was from what was basically an estate sale or something. Son wanted the old man to pair down the amount of boats and things he'd acquired over the years and this was one of them. With the owner of the ferry they were going to use steel pipes to roll it onto the ferry to add to his fleet. Granted this is what he told us a week or two ago
