On August 5, 1944, following a
successful attack on Japanese forces just north of Changsha,
P-40 Warhawks of the75th and 16th Fighter Squadrons, 23rd
F.G., are attacked by enemy Nakajima fighters and a massive
dog-fight has developed over the Hsiang Chiang river with
aircraft wheeling and turning in all directions. The action
is set against the distinctive, haunting landscape of
Southern China, Robert's panoramic canvas capturing all the
atmosphere of a crucial aerial campaign fought in the skies
above a distant land so many years ago. |
