ILLUSTRATIONS: (1) VMF-221 ace 1st Lt. Dean Caswell downs a Ki-61 in a head-on pass with his F4U-1a as a Zero fires on him from behind off Okinawa, 28 April 1945. The Tony was one of seven Japanese fighters Caswell downed that day, making him a double ace with 10 kills. Another VMF-221 pilot has flamed the engine on the fighter shooting at Caswell, throwing its pilot's aim off. (2) 1st Lt.
