Adrian's Perspective.
====My visit to the Palm Springs Air Museum was very amusing. I liked the P-40 Mustang much more than the other planes. I learned that it was Flown by the American mercenaries in China. The Planes official name is The P-40 Mustang, and was given The nick name The Warhawk. In battles against the China, onlookers gave the Plane the nickname "Flying Tigers" fo fighting "like powerful Tigers."====
