Wednesday Night Snapshot "Tigers Over Rangoon"

Event Starts at 10 PM EDT

Tigers over Rangoon

The Old Man stressed these comparisons so that in combat we would make best use
of the strengths of our plane against the weaknesses of the Zero. The P-40 had the
advantage in a dive and superior firepower, whereas the Zero could climb faster, turn
sharper, and cruise higher. Chennault trained us to attain height speeds by descending
on the enemy, closing in, firing, and peeling off. Our greatest defensive strength in
combat was the power dive. He also warned us always to fly in pairs - stick together.
If we found ourselves alone after engaging the enemy, we should search the sky and
join another P-40. - Charles R. Bond, A Flying Tiger's Diary. On January 29th 1942
Charles Bond had three alarms to scramble, the first two proved to be for naught but
the third alarm placed him and his squadron in a beehive of Japanese I-96 fighters at
19,000 feet over Rangoon.
