To: A.A. Cunningham; HANG THE EXPENSE
What a benevolent slight to the 120 Marine Corps aces and all the other Marine aviators with kills in the Pacific theater. Yeah it was all squids and army air corps pukes who won the war.

Well, technically there's no such thing as a "Marine Aviator", right? I mean, there's "Marine Air/Marine Aviation" ... but all USMC pilots are officially "Naval Aviatiors".

Holy cow, How did I miss the Marines.Early on in the Pacific the Marine wildcats and army P-40s held the line in the Pacific all the way up to 43.My apologies for that unintended slight.
