It was Chennault who figured out how to defeat the dreaded Mitsubishi A6M Type 0 fighter: just out-dive them. And the P-40 pilots with the Flying Tigers used it with great effect.

I was reading an article about the P-40. It was apparently a better fighter than has been generally thought.

For one thing, it had a faster roll rating than the zero. I think I know what that means but not sure.
