| May 22, 2021 at 2:09 | comment | added | quiet flyer | I clearly recall reading about the "Flying Tigers" using the drop tanks of their P-40s in this fashion. I don't recall whether or not the account specifically said that they had to go back and fire at the impact area w/ their guns to cause ignition. And whether the account I read was actually true-- who knows, unfortunately I can't recall the source-- | |
