Listen to him, he is dead right. The Japs called it "Whispering Death" 'cause it had a distinctive sound doing 400 MPH in a B & Z formation. With a 11:1 victory to loss ratio and over 2,000 kills that did not come in a turn fight. In a dive to your target if you have to move more that 5 degrees left or right pull out and reset up.

And whatever you do !! If your in level flight and an enemy is on your six, dont climb !! Or we will be writing your mother a letter stating your demise. Out run, or run period towards home or our team . We can help you if your coming our way, but remember to keep it at a Angels 2 and no higher so we can have the altitude advantage that would allow us to clear your six.
