I do intend to ask him, I will use the orginal WW2 aircraft recognition book I just acquired:)

Yes, I was aware of that,I also remember hearing that the first to shoot down a jet (ME262) was a Tuskegee, but recently (I don't remember who or where, damn!) I heard someone else claim this as well. The Tuskegee story was that they were flying escort and a 262 came at them at a right angle...

Hello All, I have located in a rest home next door Alvin J Johnson of the 99th.I plan to interview him and wonder if it might be ok to post the interview here a few questions at a time? If so,I have some of my own but really I am out of my league on this one and so I appeal to the historians...

Anyone know if the Tigers could have shot at anyone near Harbin? If so, which Group? What about after the Tigers? did we still have fighters on the Chinese continent after Chenault near Harbin?

I have heard tale of a kind of Chameleon armour they are developing, perhaps you found part of a prototype wreck,shhh, the M.I. B. may come to call8)

I picked it because the "Lady Be Good " who was a Liberando got lost in the desert and in so doing they became immortal in a sense when they found them in 61. Just as My Uncle Bill West,a Naiviagtor on a B-24 did in 43 somewhere over Europe. I never knew the name of Uncle Bill's plane, but he is...

But thats not what I was asking, I was asking what the Japanese pilots called their aircraft. I know they did not use the desiginations assigned by the Allies. I guess to know that would mean that there was someone around who was a Japanese pilot on this forum. I doubt they called it a...

Hello all,trying to find out the names Japanese Pilots called their aircraft, particularly "The Sally". Anyone know where I might locate this info?Thanks~A
