What are some Battle of Stalingrad quotes?
‎"16 September. Our battalion is attacking the grain elevator with tanks. Smoke is pouring out of it. The grain is burning and it seems the Russians inside set fire to it themselves. It's barbaric.

Who was first American to shoot down an enemy aircraft in World War 1?
Second Lieutenant Samuel Junkin, 308th Fighter Squadron earned distinction as the first active-duty American pilot to shoot down a German aircraft over Europe on August 19, 1942. http://www.aviano.af.mil/Subfolders/World%20War%20II-new.htm Nice information, but wrong. I don't have a individual pilot's name but I can say for sure that a group of 80 American citizens, who went to Great Britain on their own, and volunteered to become RAF pilots, were flying Spitfires and Hurricanes in 1940, during the Battle of Britain. They were members of the two RAF Eagle Squadrons. So would you like to split hairs, about what air force they were a member of??? Or would you agree that they were AMERICANS and were shooting down German air craft, over England, in 1940, not 1942?
