Hi Guys:

A friend, told me the other day a P-40 ditched in a California Lake in WW2. Does anyone have any info on which lake. He said someone told him a few years back, but wouldn't specify which lake.

Thanks,

Chris

Now for your question yes their are a number of P-40s that went down in Cal. some did go into water but if you really are interested in searching for them then get off your tushy and do the leg work yourself it really isn't that hard.


Hey Rob. I can't believe your attitude telling me to get off my tushy.. :D

Just kidding.. So you think the rumor is really true, eh? Where would I look for this info? Maxwell? What information do I need to give them?
