That is some great art work. I especially like the ones that mention a specific pilot. At EAA one year, I was able to meet Chuck Yeager and Bud Anderson right after they crawled out of P-51s they had just flown in a formation flight. Another year, Tex Hill talked about flying the P-40 against the more nimble Japanese fighters. If I recall correctly, he said you would be dead if you tried to turn with the enemy. Instead, attack from above and then dive away to gain separation.
Thread veer: if you are ever in Dayton, visit the Air Force Museum. I visited earlier this year and it has expanded considerably since I visited as a kid. Among a lot of other things, they have on display the actual F-4 that Robin Olds used to shoot down one or two Migs in Vietnam. They also had one of his flight suits on display. I grew up revering these fighter pilots and thought of them as giants (figuratively and maybe literally). When I saw Olds' flight suit, it seemed surprisingly small.
