| Interesting piece about P-47N's stationed on Le Shima. ~318thFighterGroup.IeShima.html
Piece about Oscar Pedromo, the last "ace in a day" of the war. Oscar F. Perdomo
.
In addition to having a 2,350 mile range, the P-47N excelled at ground attack too. This one ("Glory Gal") has 2,500lbs of bombs and 1,400lbs of rockets for a total ordinance load of 3,900lbs.

But please never lump Hussars in with all us other Canadians.
Hussars is Canadian yes......but he does not represent us all. Don't hold him against us. 
Hilliary Clinton is American but I don't hold that against you.

Country: | Don't feel bad. I think I will vote for both the P-38 and the P-51. I like the P-38 because of it's twin engines. If you are a thousand of miles from home, having that extra engine as surety is a big help. The P-51 did not have that advantage, but it was more compact in the sky.
