Cool shots Jack. I think I might have asked you before, but have you ever seen a Flying Tiger pic that was of a pilot with a live Tiger on a P-40?

Jack Cook · **Posted:** Mon Aug 13, 2007 3:28 pm

He was a ground crewman named "Burma Bob" Locke. I don't have the shot of the cat on the P-40E's nose.

Cool so it did exist. I was wondering about that.

Hey Jack, the number of that bird was 68.Judge Olders bird. I think the P number will also back that up.

Jack Cook · **Posted:** Mon Aug 13, 2007 8:54 pm

I tend to agree but the original said #88

Hey Jack, I've heard that before.Somewhere I have pics of the different birds but cant remember if the 88 bird had any kills. I will see what i can find. Tom

I'd go with 68 as the visible bottom half of the first digit is different from the bottom half of the 8, especially on the left hand side.

Cheers,
