Workers Of Wood

The government says they overpaid some veterans and want the money back. One vet says they want him to pay $30,000 back that he got 30 years ago. But they want to forgive student loans and give illegal aliens free health care. If there is anyone that doesn't appreciate the sacrifice of our vets it's Joe Biden and his government.

Is there any account from either IJN or IJA Pilots first encounter with the Hellcat or the Corsair?
Ensign Robert Duncan was deployed on the USS Yorktown in fighting squadron five in the fall of 1943. This rookie naval aviator was the first to secure a victory against the vaunted A6M Zero in a F6F Hellcat.
Duncans second chance at aerial combat involved a A6M Zero flown by Japanese Ace Warrant officer Toshiuki Sueda with nine victories.
Sueda was very good at luring F4F Wildcats into a climbing loop and when the the Wildcat stalled and fell away, Sueda would wing over and destroy the Wildcat.
Misidentification is a *****, and Sueda assuming his opponent was a Wildcat went into his climbing loop and Duncan with his spanking new F6F Hellcat with a 2000 HP P&W R-2800 engine followed Sueda into his climb and blew him out of the sky.
With its speed, armament and armoured protection the Grumman F6F Hellcat was a rude awakening for the Imperial Japanese pilots.
