    After the "spanish experience" he rejoined the USAAF, The Flying tigers, and served in Korea (as ground controler).

    Frank Glasgow Tinker

    http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=4581
    He was the first American to shoot down a Messerschmit and probably the only American pilot who was commanded in combat by a Russian and he commanded as a lieutenant in the Russian republic of Spain

    He means shot, like in "Shot down". Nobody is perfect.

    Efestos;
    My wife taught English to "English Second Language" students at the University. She never committed the sin of arrogance. Most of these kids were quite brilliant. It really came as a shock to her how provincial in outlook most of her contemporaries were.
