Re: Curtiss P-40 top ten ace list
Good morning,
currently, I'm trying to prove the intrigueing possibility that the consecutively numbered aircraft types P-38, P-39 and P-40 were the only planes that scored on all five continents each. The only item missing is a definite P-39 kill over Asia. The hottest cadidates are:
Edward Sharpe: 4Jul44
Howard Cox: 2Aug44
Phillip Van Sickle: 9Aug44
Earl Roggenbauer: 14Jan45
Edward Slasienski&Jules Young 14Jan45
Phillip Van Sickle: 17Jan45
of the 81. Fighter Group during their tour in the CBI.
Is there any chance to prove that one of them flew the P-39 ?
Cheers,
Michael
