Hi everyone,
I got a request from Mike the owner of the desert rat for some help. He purchased a drop tank the other day and was hoping someone could identify exactly what aircraft it might have been used with. (the seller said p-51 but mike thinks it could be p-40, f4f, or even maybe p-38) He was hoping someone more knowlegeable could identify it.
here are the photos
overall shot of the tank
the mounting brackets
a flange running down the side of the tank with what looks like a gasket and clips that hold the tank together
thanks everyone for the help!
