Default The Ayer Pistol...

Hi there

In case anyone is wondering, Lt. Ayer earned fame for pistol shooting when early on in Normandy, was incensed when the Germans attempted to recover a Panther from right under the noses of his Section. Unable to contact the gunners, he pulled his .380 revolver and engaged the enemy with all 6 rounds.
