1964年10月31日，陝西省山陽縣上空，一架J-6正在追逐返航的張立義U-2C，從照片中可以感受到當時J-6飛行員的不甘和絕望。圖片來源：《航空知識》via 飛揚軍事

Capt Azra Judd, Sub-Lt. Wei-Ta-Ming, Sgt. Fu-Yiu-Lum, Sgt. Yen Shi, China Oct 1944.  照片中人員是在B-25機身射擊窗口.  相機並沒有固定架支撐.  讓我聯想到二戰後第12中隊的F10並非原廠偵察機, 是否也是以相同的方式手持拍照呢?

背景是Beechcraft D17R. 從這架迷彩看, 應該不是蔣夫人的專機, 而是第2或第3批買的原廠綠褐迷彩, 應是隸屬空運隊.

Curtiss P-40, known to Americans as Warhawk, and to their allies of the British Commonwealth as Tomahawk and Kittyhawk, fought on nearly all fronts of the Second World War, serving with the American, British, Australian, New Zealand, South African, Canadian, Free French, Chinese, Dutch and Soviet air forces. The American Warhawks were part of as many as nine US Army Air Forces stationed overseas: the 5th (Australia, New Guinea, Philippines); the 6th (Central America); the 7th (central Pacific); the 9th (Middle East, North Africa), the 10th (India, Burma), the 11th (Alaska, Aleutians), the 12th (North Africa, Italy); the 13th (the Solomons); and the 14th (China). During the first years of the war the P-40 helped the Allies stem the offensive of the Axis powers and fight them back at the last-ditch defensive positions, like Kunming in China, Port Moresby on New Guinea, Darwin in Australia or El Alamein in Egypt. Never a high-performance fighter, it nonetheless proved a potent weapon in capable hands. Often turned into a fighter-bomber in later years, it soldiered on until phased out in favor of more advanced designs.
