How Did One American Pilot Stop 64 Enemy Aircraft Alone?

How Did One American Pilot Stop 64 Enemy Aircraft Alone?
On December 13th, 1943, a single American P-40 Warhawk pilot faced 64 Japanese aircraft over India in one of World War Two's most incredible air battles. Second Lieutenant Philip Adair was alone in the sky when 24 Sally bombers and 40 Oscar fighters appeared, heading straight for his base at Dinjan Airfield. What happened next defied all military doctrine and aerodynamic logic. Flying with a burning engine, damaged controls, and zero oil pressure, Adair invented combat maneuvers that had never been attempted before—including an inverted landing approach that aviation experts said was impossible. This is the untold story of how one obsolete fighter disrupted an entire enemy raid through sheer determination and unconventional thinking. Discover forgotten heroes of World War Two who changed history against impossible odds.
