Wallensteinism

[Dave Monroe]

"We had only the old Tomahawks (predecessor of the
current P-40 fighter planes) to work with over in
China and Burma, but everybody seems to think we did a
pretty good job with them.  We, too, think we had a
splendid success.

"I enjoyed every minute of it, but I'd like to set the
general public right on several points.  First, I want
to add my words of praise to those already spoken
about Curtiss Tomahawks.  Except for a few P-43', it
was the only plane we had in Burma and, properly used,
its performance could not be questioned...."

Which reminds me, though, watch for Sky Captain and
the World of Tomorrow (2004) ...
