/Air Ace recounts Burma China combat and P-40 saga/
Colonel Robert L. Scott recalls postwar aviation heroics from West Point to China Burma theater. He details early war doubts about combat, flying over India to join Chennaults group, and the ferocious air battles against Japanese Zero fighters. He describes nightmarish dogfights, battlefield deaths, and the gruesome memory of a fallen pilot, then celebrates the P-40 Warhawk’s performance and American industrial effort that carried fighters to the front. He closes with Christmas near Kunming and hopes for a monument to the Curtiss P-40 and Allison engine.
