"The Flying Tigers", a squadron that served the US in China during WW2, one of their most commonly used aircraft was the P-40B.  All of that, not courtesy of Wikipedia.

You obviously didn't "get" it.  Think literally.

Neither of these explainations is actually literal.  'Tiger' can be referred to as a tank, or an animal.  A literal explaination should require no disambiguation.

A flying Tiger.  Nice but have you considered the wing load on one of those.  talk about compression and large turn radius.  Definitely in the P-47 realm.  But unfortunately lacking the horse power to weight ratio of the Juggs.

My remark as to the Flying Tiger (Tank) is in reference to its size and weight.

A P47 is in no way related to a Tiger.

Ohh, man, NOW he tells me!
The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

Let me see.  Its big.  Its ugly.  It has a lot of firepower.  It can reach terminal velocity from 30K faster than anything else.  Sounds like it has allot in common with the Jug.  Did I say it was ugly?
