Well Captain, you appear to have stumped us

So what is the answer?

Shamus · 12-26-2007, 12:57 PM

William Dunn,RAF 71 Squadron

glyn · 12-26-2007, 19:57 PM

Ah, Shamus, the good Captain seems to be enjoying the festivities

I notice he said WW2 era, and not specifically WW2 itself. I suppose it might depend on when it is reckoned the unpleasantness really started

Hint;

His first victories were in an American origin biplane, and thenafter a British origin biplane.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Despite your generous supply of three tips, no-one has come up with an answer captain. I suggest that you provide it and then pose another.

dave lukins · 01-01-2008, 07:55 AM

Col. Grant Mahony

OK, I'm back and I hope you all you a nice Christmas and saw the new year in with appropriate festivities.

Our mystery Aviator was; Arthur Chin Shui-Tin. (Art Chin)

He was born in Portland Oregon and initially joined the Cantonese Airforce to fight the Japanese.

Sorry for making the clues a bit too obscure or perhaps trying to throw you off the scent.

Read all about him on the following links.

Someone else have a go please, it's 42 degrees C here and too hot to think.

Cheers.

Well done, you beat us fair and square.

Mr Lukins, I think you ought to come up with the next question.

dave lukins · 01-01-2008, 15:45 PM

Name the American F-16 Pilot who was awarded the DFC in Oct 07 for services in Iraq, and what was "unusual" about the ceremony?
