Country:  | Both GrG and Les should calm down...
...although, their arguing is making for good entertainment.

Country:  | Thats called a typo meatball... But I guess since ur perfect, u have no idea what I'm talking about...
A typo is when u accidently hit the wrong key, which produces a word that sometimes is not spelled as it should...
Examples for just u...
faggjt (faggot)
retasd (retard)
morln (moron)
idiod (idiot)
Hope this little lesson will help u understand how some of us non-perfect people live our lives...
"Anywho, I don't just mean in that post, I forgot to point that out."

"dont" "showin" ''i''
"Don't" "Showin' '' ''I''
You misspelled Grammar again.
Anyway, what a mature way to point out typos!
Adults are just so much more developed, hunh?  :P | |

Country: | Thanks for the nice read, now can we all relax and get back to our point. WE were at one time talking about the theater we would fly in. So my pick for today is back in the CBI, but with the AVG. Getting all I could out of the P-40. It did stand up nicely to the A6M. 
Les, is that better for you? PM me if you have any futher coments on typing.

Country: | Mp, it wasnt a big deal, i was just curious how come there were so many mistakes... Thought u mighta been drunk or didnt speak english all that well...
And that was a very good post hehe...
I dont really believe the P-40 stood up evenly vs. the A6M... I think ur statement about getting all you could get outta the Warhawk is correct... All those pilots in the AVG did the same thing....
Not sure what the loss rate was for them...

| The official kill total for the AVG was 286 confirmed. Most historians think the total was far higher than that, however (perhaps twice that number). Combat losses amount to about 50 P-40s (I'm not sure about the exact number) but only 9 pilots.

Country: | there were some problems with record keeping in those earliy days.... Alot of records were lost...
Boyington claimed to have shot down six Japanese aircraft while with the Flying Tigers... However, AVG records were poorly kept, and were lost in air raids... To compound the problem, the U.S. Air Force does not officially recognize the kills made by the AVG, even though the Tigers were eventually absorbed into the Fourteenth Air Force, led by Major General Claire Chennault...
Thus, the best confirmation that can be obtained on Boyington's record with the AVG is that he scored 3.5 kills...

| For the A6M x P-40, If I remember correctly, the only advantage the P-40 had was altitude...
I have a War Quote!

| The P-40 had greater firepower (starting with the E model anyway). It was also better armored and (importantly) had a higher diving speed.

| That is true, but the P-40 had considerable success against the Zero.
