Robert L. Scott has dreamed his whole life of being a fighter pilot, but when war comes he finds himself flying transport planes over The Hump into China. In China, he persuades General Chennault to let him fly with the famed Flying Tigers, the heroic band of airmen who'd been fighting the Japanese long before Pearl Harbor. Scott gets his chance to fight, ultimately engaging in combat with the deadly Japanese pilot known as Tokyo Joe.
Flying Model
Robert is obsessed with flying from his teens and following a failed attempt, he deceives his unfulfilled desire by building flying models.
Fokker D.VII
Unidentified Aircraft
SPAD S.XIII
Fokker Dr.I
(background) just over Robert's hair, a Fokker Dr.I. Another German aircraft at the bottom left and others unidentified model.
Unidentified Aircraft
Despite Robert is speaking about his first flight at the controls of a Jenny (Curtiss JN), images are showing another type of aircraft as these scrop sprayers have a radial engine.
Consolidated PT-1 Trusty
(bottom center) Code 522 : Consolidated PT-1 Trusty fitted with a radial engine so TA-3 or TA-5 for the USAAF (depending exact engine type). The first primary trainer ordered by USAAS (United States Army Air Service) in 1921 and on duty til 1930 (the type was then used by the National Guard just a couple of years).
A single PT-1 among lot of PT-17 as in 1945, there were very few of the 223 airframes built left ... but this one is welcome to reflect Robert's pilot learning cursus in the early 1930s.
