Leading a sixteen-bomber force on their long distance (one-way mission ) the Doolittle Raiders completed the first strike at the heart of imperial Japan, since the infamous attack on Pearl Harbour four months earlier.

Mysticpuma Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) John Shaw - "Shark Sighting" Before the pilots of the Flying Tigers could take to the skies against the enemy, the all-important task of boresighting the .30 caliber wing guns of their P-40s had to take place. The ingenious armorers of the AVG were often forced to improvise, but as the Tigers’ incredible combat record can attest, they got the job done! Artist John D. Shaw has recreated this scenario, featuring likenesses of actual AVG personnel, such as “Tex” Hill and armorer Chuck Baisden.

Mysticpuma Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) "Gunfight over Rabaul" by Jack Fellows. Major Boyington, ("Pappy" to his men) is seen maneuvering for an advantageous position against the Japanese pilot flying a nimble A6M2 type "zero" fighter aircraft over the Japanese-held bastion at Rabaul on December 27, 1943. On this date Boyington shot down his 25th enemy aircraft, a zero over Simpson Harbour, Rabaul. Edited July 12, 2023 by Mysticpuma 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
