On 12 December 1941, 81 years ago today, Captain Jesus Villamor, commander of the Phillipine Army Air Corps 6th Pursuit Squadron shot down a Japanese bomber over the Philippines. Villamor was flying a P-26 Peashooter and his aerial victory is (so far as I know) the only one credited to a P-26. VIllamor was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.
Some sources credit Villamor with downing two Japanese aircraft.
