Before the pilots of the Flying Tigers could take to the skies
against the enemy, the all-important task of bore sighting the
.30 caliber wing guns of their P-40s had to take place. The ingenious
armorers of the AVG were often forced to improvise, but as the
Tigers' incredible combat record can attest, they got the job
done!Artist John D. Shaw has recreated this scenario, featuring
likenesses of actual AVG personnel, such as "Tex" Hill
and armorer Chuck Baisden. Signed by a minimum of eleven AVG
veterans from the group listed below. |
