On the General Discussion board we had a few good discussions on Operation Pacific and In Harms Way, Since discussing the military equipment is more of an Off Topic Discussion I'm posting this here. My main interest is WWII aviation. And out of WWII aircraft is the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, I have about ninty books on this aircraft. The most interesting picture was taken I beleive in 1943 when John Wayne toured the Pacific. The Duke is sitting in an early model P-47D razorback with Tommy McGuire standing on the wing laughing with the Duke. I have never quite figured that picture out, Because Tommy McGuire was our second highest scoring ace with 38 kills in a P-38 Lightning. McGuire hated the P-47. I always wondered why the Duke wasn't sitting in a P-38 for that picture. But then again we are talking about military PR work. Anyway on with the post." The Flying Tigers" which flew P-40's for the Chinese. Baron you stated earlier of the different P-40's used.... I'll open this up for you and your son to tear it up on the P-40's
