One of the things about the Flying Tigers unit was they discovered how to defeat the Mitsubishi A6M "Zero"--just out-dive them. And it was this unit that discovered the "Zero" was extremely vulnerable to gunfire from any well-armed fighter.

How sad it is that so many many Americans alive today have no knowledge, understanding or appreciation of our military history and sacrifices!!! We live in dark times and fading hope for the future if we do not re-correct our historical course!!! Obama and his ilk must be defeated and never allowed ever again to occupy the seat of our power and then proceed to destroy and dismantle our great free republic!!!

An old friend would have loved to hear about this! Thanks! I’ve shared it with his family and friends.
