AIRCRAFT: Curtiss P-40B Warhawk

HISTORY:
The attack on Wheeler Field cought most of the P-40 and P-36 fighters of 
the 7th Fighter Command on the ground.  Six pilots, however, managed to 
get their planes into the air.  Overwhelmingly outnumbered, they scored 
the first American victories of the war, shooting down 12 enemy planes.

MISSION:
Accompany 2nd lieutenants George Welch and Ken Taylor over Ewa Marine 
Corps Air Station.  Land at any friendly air base to be refueled and 
rearmed.  (George Welch and Ken Taylor each shot down at least four 
enemy planes, and were among the first USAAF aces of the war.)
