I thought they just marched prisoner brigades over mine fields.

A little while later this one takes out a panther. Famous news reel.

Just finished a book called "Spearhead" that dealt a great deal about this clash. A recommended read.

No photo credit available. Not the different squadrons and all are Ns I do believe. So they would be Pacific Theater.

Good ones Aaron.
I think the pic in Post # 19,040 is actually a formation of civilian-owned "N's", restored and re-painted, obtained from, if memory serves, South America, possibly Brazil, in the 1980's - I can't remember exactly when or where, they came from, but they're mostly still on the US airshow "circuit".
