  • Who's P-40?

    This photo was taken at Orange County, CA in March 1959.
    Any one know where this bird ended up?

    This P-40 is now N95JB with John MacGuire at the War Eagles Air Museum.

          Isn't this the same P-40 in that famous black and white poster? It's almost a head on shot, with (what looks like) a four blade prop?

          Marauder, these are great photos, and a great challenge to the group. Keep 'em coming. I'll provide info where I can. Any pictures I would have would come out of a book or magazine. I'd hate to Plagiarize them.

            Four bladed

            The P-40 with the 4-bladed prop would be Gil Macy's at the time. It also had a modified canopy and was a weather modification plane before that, so I doubt it's the same Warhawk.
            There is a Nut Tree poster of it in flight.
            It was later restored to "stock" condition in AVG markings by Tom Camp. Not sure where it is now.
