Combat Over New Guinea
Australian Ace Dick Cresswell tangles with a Japanese Zero in the humid air of
the tropics over New Guinea during an encounter in 1942. Flying a P-40E
Kittyhawk with the insignia of 77 Squadron, RAAF blazoned on his aircraft,
Cresswell makes a head-on pass leaving the enemy aircraft streaming smoke.
Immortalised by the Flying Tigers, the P-40 was a fine combat aircraft that
operated in the Pacific, European and Middle East theaters. |
