Default Re: John Fitch - RIP

While air to air kills were not entirely uncommon Red Tails did take certain liberties. The P51 cannot maintain inverted flight and the statement that "no bombers under Red Tail protection were lost" is inaccurate. My son is the research specialist at the CAF Air Power Museum. I had the privilage of attending the American Combat Airman Hall of Fame Induction last month and spending the evening with medal of Honor recipient, Bruce Crandall and other American heros. A moving experience to say the least.
