On this day in 1941, the pilots of the American Volunteer Group, AKA
the Flying Tigers, leapt into the air war against the Japanese in China, entering combat over Kunming, China.
And where were you on this day in 1989? I was in the kitchen of Mom and Dad's, home on leave for Christmas, talking on the phone with the wife (who was also in town for Christmas) of a high school buddy of mine, trying to talk her down from the ceiling as she had awakened that morning to find out that
her husband was busy that day executing Operation Just Cause, the invasion of Panama.
Just thought you might find that to be interesting.
