Review on 31 July. Hill talked about his time as leader of the Flying
Tigers' 2nd Squadron. During WWII he destroyed more than 18 enemy aircraft
(10.25 with the AVG), including what is believed to be the first Japanese
Zero shot down by a P-51 Mustang.

in the history of the Texas Air National Guard.
