Re: 1st Combat Mission of the AVG/Flying Tigers
The AVG P-40 of John Ed Blackburn III (from Amarillo, Texas) which crashed in Dianchi Lake, Kunming on 28 April 42 may someday be recovered. This would be a gem for all fanciers of the AVG P-40B aircraft. It has been buried in the lake mud for 73 years.....
BTW, Chuck Baisden, 3rd Sqdn armorer, was commended for his skills and efforts to modify the P-40Bs and fit them with a bomb rack.
