Al,

What's the history of the P-40 in the Solomon Islands?
Click to expand...

Dave the P-40 of the USAAF started operations in Guadalcanal in December 1942.They did escort,ground attack,ship attacks and some intercepts.One of the biggest intercepts they were in was on July 15,1943 along with P-38's and Corsairs intercepting over 60 Japanese bombers and fighters in the area of Vella Lavella.

The plane in the pics is by Sopwith C and is an F model which had the Parkard Merlin engine.It flies very well.
They also flew the K and M models.

I just have a couple of missions for it and some for the P-38.Right now I'm in the middle of another project which I hope to finish the first part in a week or 2.I know Rami will enjoy it because we've been talking about it for along time.:icon_lol: The second part of it I still have to do some GSL work.
