Joe Rosbert shared in the destruction of four Japanese bombers during his first aerial engagement. Born in January 1917, Rosbert grew up in south Philadelphia. An outstanding student, he won a scholarship to Villanova College where he earned a degree in chemical engineering in 1938. Excited by naval aviation, he enlisted as a seaman second class and began basic aviation training in the Boeing N3N Kaydet. He and one classmate were successful and moved on to NAS Pensacola, Florida. In April 1940, Admiral A. C. Read, who had made the first successful trans-Atlantic flight, pinned wings on Rosbert. He then checked out in the Consolidated PBY Catalina and became a patrol plane commander. Seeking new adventure during the summer of 1941, Rosbert resigned his commission and volunteered to fight for China. In late September, he sailed on a Dutch ship as leader of 35 young Americans. In mid-November, the group arrived in Burma and within a few days, Rosbert was assigned to the 1st Pursuit Squadron and began to fly the Curtiss P-40B Tomahawk. On 18 December, the 1st and 2nd Squadrons flew to China, and just two days later, the AVG (American Volunteer Group) engaged the enemy. A group of 15 Tomahawks attacked 10 Japanese bombers headed for Kunming. In the melee, four bombers were downed and each AVG pilot was awarded 4/15th -victory credit. In late December, the Japanese began attacks on Rangoon. Rosbert âchafed at the bit â to get into the thick of the battle. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 0 pages.…
