In The "HAWKS OVER CHINA" Roy Grinnell has caught the moment in August 1937, when Chinese-American fighter "Ace" Arthur Chin begins his first aerial combat. Flying the Curtiss Hawk III fighter, Chin and a companion have just begun a diving attack on a formation of Japanese Navy Mitsubishi G3M Nell bombers.

In "Big Bang in Burma" Roy Grinnell dramatically illustrates a typical low-level attack mission flown by North American B-25 Mitchell bombers of the First Air Commando Group. Grinnell has captured the moment that Air Commando bomber pilot and former Flying Tiger R.T. Smith, has unleashed his aircraft's powerful 75mm cannon on a Japanese position somewhere in Burma. In the image, Smith's aircraft and a companion B-25 are being escorted by an Air Commando North American P-51A Mustang fighter. |
