Lowest period of the war

In the lead it says "during the lowest period of the war for both the U.S. and the Allied Forces" this is not so. Things were much lower afer the defeat of France (when memebers of the Britih cabinate considered putting out peace feelers). By this period of the war things for Britain were not so dark; as Winston Churchill said on hearing of the attack on Pearl Harbour he "went to bed and slept the sleep of the saved" because he realized that now Britain and her allies could not loose the war. So I think that this wording needs to be alterd. — PBS (talk) 11:08, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Polish figter pilot.

There was one pilot from Poland, Witold Urbanowicz. He was fighting volunteerly (as a guest) against Japan from September 1943 to December 1943. I think there is nothing about him in this article. 217.96.180.64 (talk) 08:33, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Chennault met Urbanowicz in Washington, DC at a meeting. Urbanowicz was the air attaché of Poland at the time and Chennault offered to him him come visit the 23rd FG. He flew missions unofficially with the 23rd scoring some victories. The young American pilots were in awe of his situational awareness and ability to recall the facts about the air battles. 69.181.180.80 (talk) 06:15, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Type of P40

the initial P40s used by Chennault were P40As. They lacked the self-sealing tanks of the B model. The engines were rejected Allison engines that were rebuilt to fill the Order. This was verified by the Chennault museum in Monroe LA. I got the account from my uncle Willard Finley who was one of the mechanics ~2026-43722-73 (talk) 03:00, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
