In the early morning of July 6th, 1942, Major David Lee "Tex" Hill, an experienced fighter pilot with the Flying Tigers, took off from Kweilin, leading a flight of four P-40E Warhawks. Their mission was to escort five B-25 Mitchell bombers on their way to bomb an oil refinery at Canton. The flight encountered low overcast clouds, but fortunately, the clouds cleared up over Canton, and the bombers were able to hit their target. However, on their way back, one of the B-25 pilots reported being attacked by Japanese Ki-27 fighters. Hill, who was vigilant and always prepared for any eventuality, quickly led his flight in a counter-attack on the enemy aircraft. They managed to shoot down two confirmed Japanese fighters and the mission was deemed a success. Relic art version available at Aces In Action.
