So, I guess the Japanese Zero and the Messerschmidts were considered "Wild Fowl"? Nice cover! I have a helicopter pilot friend who rode around on US Coast Guard ships for some time. They had shotguns, including Parkers, that they could check out and shoot clays off the fantail with. This was a very popular form of onboard recreation. He worked in the machine shop. When they decided to decommission those old unsafe shotguns he was tasked with cutting them into pieces with a bandsaw and tossing them overboard. Sad story, eh?
