  Flying the P-40 against German fighters, from Capt. James Reed of the 33rd FG
  ...
  On November 11th, 1942, Lt. (later Capt.) James E. Reed of the 33rd Fighter Group was piloting one of the 77 P-40Fs that was catapulted off the carrier 'Chenango,' a converted Great Lakes oil tanker, for a landing at an airport at Port Lyautey, 90 miles north of Casablanca, as part of Operation Torch--the invasion of North Africa.Not long after the landing, Lt.Reed had to turn over his P-40F, named 'Irene' in honor of his then-girlfriend and later wife, to the French Lafayette Escardrill Squadron, much to his chagrin (along with that of the other pilots who had to give up their planes as well).Lt.Reed ultimately completed 83 missions flying P-40s.Many of these missions were against German fighters, especially the Me-109.
  
  A few years ago, I had the opportunity to correspond with Capt. Reed via telephone, snail mail, and email.In one of my emails, I asked about how the P-40F and L (which he also flew) compared to both the Me-109 and Fw-190, which also flew in North Africa but to a lesser degree (more often as a fighter-bomber).Here is Capt. Reed's emailed reply:

  Among the original group of 105 settlers was a blacksmith, James Reed.
  
  Villages were always eager to attract a good blacksmith for no village could have survived in the early days without one.First of all, the main means of transportation for thousands of years had been horses.While it formed only part of his work, a blacksmith was needed to shoe horses; as well, he made all the small iron pieces required for bridles and harnesses.Blacksmith's work required great physical strength, both to hammer the pieces of red hot iron into shape and to manage the heavy iron objects and lively horses.
  
  While a blacksmith was a shoer of horses and a man of strength, he was also much more than that.He could do more things for people than any other tradesman in the community.He could mend a broken wagon-wheel, fashion a household kettle, make nails for the new barn, or design a personalized weathervane.His role, however, demanded even more than all this.The good blacksmith was a man of imagination and engineering creativity.He could take a shapeless lump of iron and turn it into anything desired.Take, for instance, a great church door hung by decorative strap hinges, a marvel of design.
