Talk:William A. Shomo

Untitled
There's been speculation that the reason for Shomo's relative ease of shooting down seven aircraft is that: A) The P-51 was relatively new to the Pacific theater and, therefore, unfamiliar to the Japanese pilots. and  B) that, at a distance, the P-51 bears a resemblance to the Kawasaki Ki-61 with its inline engine and belly radiator. Thus, Shomo could get very close to his targets without being detected.--Phyllis1753 (talk) 20:48, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
