He got most of the Fifth AF P-38 pilots to perfect head on passes with early engagement and disengagement before the Japanese fighters were close enough to engage accurately. There was a advantage to having that cluster of guns in the nose. Dad and two other 9th FS buddies, 1943, New Guinea. -- Regards, Savageduck
