Summary

| Description |
"Hell's Angels", the 3rd Squadron of the 1st American Volunteer Group "Flying Tigers," 1942. Follow the link at the faded Kodachrome 'original' below for the great backstory. Taken near the China-Burma border, May 28, 1942. I cleaned up the original and restored colors to my best guess at what they were originally, and cropped some featureless sky. 6-plane flight (I think) with Lt. Smith shooting from the cockpit of #47, which you (obviously) can't see. Aircraft are Curtiss P-40 Warhawks, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtiss_P-40_Warhawk" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtiss_P-40_Warhawk</a> Famous photo, courtesy of the photographer's son, Brad Smith. This is my re-edit of the Commons file listed at the source below. Two passes thru Apple Photos, plus other tweaks. Closest I could come to the photographer's intent. I'm happy. |
