Description
Ace [not identified by letter's author] sent me this. He flew the F4U-4B. It was one of the limited production Hogs with four 20 mms. He recently sent me an newspaper article about a strike on a heavily flak surrounded North Korean target. When he got back aboard the Phil Sea, and gave a thumbs up to indicate his aircraft was up, he got a vigorous thumbs down from the brown shirt. His plane had 168 bullet holes in it--no hits on anything vital. Ace was the CAG LSO when I was aboard the Midway, and was on the platform when I had to come aboard with an emergency during a driving, no visibility rain squall. This is an interesting comparison with some great aircraft. Since the end of the Second World War, there has raged a continuous debate over which was the best overall fighter aircraft to emerge from the conflict. This debate shows no sign of abating to this day. From the school boys of the mid nineteen forties to the aviation scholars of the 1990s, P-51 advocates argue their case with Spitfire men and Lightning defenders.
