Tex Hill, Flying Tigers Fame, passed Thursday, age 92.
A life to envy.
Amen.
Although I'll bet he never dreamed that he'd live to age 92 back in
1942...

Bob Scott told me that the way Tex flew against the Japanese, he was so
aggressive Scotty thought it was a miracle Tex survived the Tigers.
Tex hated the Japanese pilots. After shooting one down that had crashed
on the field at Kunming, Tex landed, got out of the P40 and walked
slowly over to what remained of the body of the Japanese pilot.
He kicked what was left of the body back into the fire and walked away.
