Shark Sighting
by
John D. Shaw
Before the pilots of the legendary AmericanVolunteer Group could take to the skies against the enemy, the all-important taskof Bore Sighting the .30 caliber wing guns of their P-40s had to take place! The ingenious armorers of the AVG were often forced to improvise, but as the Tigers' incredible combat record can attest, these great Americans got the job done! Artist John D. Shaw has recreated this scenario, featuring likenesses of actual AVG personnel, such as "Tex" Hill and armorer Chuck Baisden. Today, less than two dozen of these great American heroes are still with us and it's been a true honor to work with them on another painting to help continue their legacy!
