Those horrendous "cartoon faces" that this Jezebel is fixated on were borrowed by American fighter pilots from AUSTRALIAN fighter planes. The AVG [American Volunteer Group] agreed with the Aussies that the American fighter plane, the Curtiss P40, with it's large air intake directly under the engine, was perfect for painting "nose art." These brave AVG pilots risked their lives daily, unbelievably outnumbered by the battle hardened Japanese air force, to help slow the march of destruction and atrocities by the Empire of Japan. The proud tradition of these brave and deadly efficient "Flying Tigers" helped bleed the Japanese military before America entered the war after Pearl Harbor. Any military pilot of any nation would be honored to be associated in any way with the heroes of AVG Flying Tigers.

Other than fiction, one of the bedrock requirements for Leftist credentials is to know nothing about anything, yet comment authoritatively about everything.

Your post, while being factual true would earn you the title of a bore at one of their group mental-grope sessions.

I myself thank you and you are what makes FR so great. One, or more of us, knows more than the lefties could ever know about any subject. Hence, their dislike for forums like this and talk radio.
