Amazing story about a WW2 encounter over Germany - and battlefield morality

There has always been a sense of honor and chivalry among pilots of WW1, and 2. I love reading about these stories.

Some good ones to watch on the history channel (i think) series Dogfights. It's on Netflix.

One episode....

A German pilot followed an American fighter after a huge air battle and fired into the American's plane but the plane didn't go down. He went in for another pass and hit him again, then again....the plane was still flying...now crippled....but still flying steady towards home.

Still with enough ammo to finish the job, the German pilot flew wing to wing with the American and gave him a incredulous head shake, then a salute. Flew past him, dipped his wings and left.
