But They've Traded Their P-40's For Warthogs
The legacy of American volunteers protecting China flying
shark-faced P-40 Tomahawks during World War II has become a fixture
in the war in Afghanistan.In homage to the storied airmen of
the past, the 74th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron, deployed from
Moody Air Force Base, GA, has the iconic shark's face painted on
the front of its A-10 Thunderbolt II's, lovingly nicknamed the
"Warthog."
