You got that right!

The P-40 Kittyhawk (or Warhawk, in US service) was the fighter used in the greatest numbers by the RAAF in World War 2, and a P-40N was the last RAAF aircraft lost in operations during that war. The RAAF's WW2 fighter aces in most cases began their careers in P-40s.

In all 848 P-40E, P-40K, P-40M, and P-40N types served in the RAAF, in the Western Desert, Australia, New Guinea, Rabaul, the Netherlands East Indies, and in the island hops through Goodenough, Noemfoor and Morotai.

With the war's end, the P-40 was no longer required, being superseded by more modern types. Some of those delivered from late 1944 never saw service and were scrapped from storage. Others found their way to bombing ranges as practice targets.

"God is my Co-pilot" was a book I read/reread as a teenager. Always enjoyed it.

It continues to amaze be how America may not have built the fastest or most manueverable aircraft during the war, but we built planes that could get "shot up like hell" and still bring the pilot/crews home.

I just found this link Interview with Brig. Gen. Robert Scott about his life and how he got into flying, and going to China, and after. There's a total of 5 pages of the interview.

Here's a great quote by "The Duke":

"I have found a certain type calls himself a Liberal...Now I always thought I was a Liberal. I came up terribly surprised one time when I found out that I was a Right-Wing Conservative Extremist, when I listened to everybody's point of view that I ever met, and then decided how I should feel. But this so-called new Liberal group, Jesus, they never listen to your point of view..."
- John Wayne

Great thread Sam. William Edward Gateley's story of his escapes were very interesting.

So many Heroe's in the early days of the war.

And all the way to today. ;-)
