It is disputed whether the copyright tag on this file is correct. In some cases this may be because the stated source or other information is not sufficient to prove the selected tag is correct. Reason: > "This image or file is a work of a U.S. Air Force Airman or employee, taken or made during the course of the person's official duties. As a work of the U.S. federal government, the image or file is in the public domain."

This is a copyrighted photograph of Robert T. Smith taken with his camera, not a work of an U.S. Air Force Airman or employee. The link to the source (http://www.ww2incolor.com/gallery/U-S-Air-Force/flying_tigers_pilot) no longer works. See DISCISSION and this archival link= [1]

The photograph was probably taken on May 23, 1942 at Kunming, China in front of Tomahawk #40, not "next to his P-40 fighter". #40 was probably assigned to Tom Cole of the 2nd Squadron. R.T. smith was assigned #77 and #47.

I'm happy to grant Wikipedia the right to use the image, but would like to see the file name, caption, source and permission changed.
