WORLD WAR II FLYING ACE

9 1/2 kills to his credit…
four bombers
and a Zero fighter in one day…
outnumbered, wounded,
in a dead-dog Curtis P-40
diving for the trees…
rudder controls,
right aileron
shot out,
146 holes
for fuselage,
oil lines cut…
15… 8… 2,000 feet…
gears scorch,
pulse revs…
900…
800…
stick lever in convulsions,
self-sealing tank wet,
200…
propellers gasp…
100…
60…
20…
