OK guys what bird is this??? As always the winner gets nothing and if you know the ID wait awhile and the others work the problem.

[John Lane]

If I had to guess, I would say it's John Paul's P-40E after doing some movie work!! It looks like John walking in front of the aeroplane!!!

Hi john,
A hint ( the only one).
This picture was taken over 30 years ago!

That looks like a 27" winter tread automotive tyre on the r/h side?

Come on guys. I thought you have this one by now. Where's Col Roar when ya need him?

[Don Martin]

I'm just hazzarding a guess here, but she looks like she's just been through a battle and Pearl Harbor comes to mind..................................................

Was that a Tora Tora Tora hint, Don?

[Jack Cook]

You guys are so far off I'm suprised. Here's a hint....built in America, flown by Canada, rebuilt by an American and flown by a Canadian.

AK905. I've never seen a photo of it from the time period between the time of its ownership by Bob Warden and Don Plumb. I rather like the refreshing lack of sharks teeth, which like on AK940, was short lived.

The paintjob of AVG #47 that Mr. Plumb had applied has held out quite well, I have to say.

[Jack Cook]

Nope!!!!

[Mike]

AL152/N1207V?

[Don Martin]

It was just a thought....................................

[Jack Cook]

Still nope.
I can't believe after all this time I've got ya'll stumped!

P-40M/43-5802 G-KITT

I am assuming this, as the sign for Salem gave me the impression that it was in Salem Oregon. This aircraft was based in Oregon during the time in question.

Cheers,
Richard
