As many may know this week marks an important date in history of Australia as it was when in WW2, the Japanese came to bomb Australia at Darwin in 1942...with significant loss of life and materials.
But did you know an USAAF P-40 pilot was killed by the Japanese just before the main bombing started at Darwin when shot down off the coast by a Japanese flying boat...... See more here -http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-02-19/american-losses-in-darwin-forgotten/7184386
USAAF P-40 pilots went on during WW2 in PNG area to wrack up many kills such as the recovered USAAF P-40 wreck on display at the Classic Fighter Jets Museum in Adelaide which has 10 kills i am told.
