Came across an interesting web site about a South African P-40 pilot who flew in North Africa. It's http://saafww2pilots.yolasite.com/eric-johnson.php.

All his dead friends in the photos is a testament to just how lucky he was to survive the war flying that deathtrap against the Germans...

Rather face him in his p40 than hand to hand.

That he flew the P-40 knowing it was inferior to the enemy he was going to engage in combat is also a testament of his bravery as well.
