horseback Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Can't say I'm particularly concerned about the potential loss of an aircraft that that only served in the N. African & CBI theaters, and on the Eastern Front in limited numbers with the Soviets. I'll start worrying when they sell off all their Spitfires... cheers horseback [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]"Here's your new Mustangs boys--you can learn to fly 'em on the way to the target!"

Many USAAF pilots trained in the P40 in the states and flew it with the 52nd Fighter Group, 5th Fighter Squadron, 15th air Force out of Madna, Italy before transitioning to the P51 in 1944-45. They flew missions in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Italy in P40s and finally to Berlin In P51s. Only right it returns. But thanks to TFC for restoring this rare aircraft.
