Okay...Um, Is that true 2 P-40 flew during the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor? I seen it from "Tora Tora Tora" and "Pearl Harbor". Is that true or just for hollywood?

I'm 58... Born 1948

As a thirteen/fourteen year old I'm fascinated by the World Wars...

And, Peal Harbour is one of the Tops... right next to the Dam Busters

I have never seen action and glad of it...

But... the deep respect that I feel for those who have is Immeasurable...
