Saw this photo on eBay. Very interesting model of the P-40.

FYI for anyone thinking of buying this photo...

Grab the file from THIS page on the AF Link website, take it to your local super with a photo department and have it printed yourself. Or use one of the many online printing services (flickr.com is my personal favorite). I will almost guarantee that the ebay seller for that auction has used the same image file to make his digital prints... despite what he claims in his auction descriptions. Although I do believe that he prints them himself... I've grabbed a couple of his photos in the past and they were definitely printed with a computer printer of some sort. The quality was excellent, but when scanned at high resolution the printing pattern was clearly discernable.

Anyhoo, that file from the AF Link site will print nicely up to 5x7, and an 8x10 will be acceptable, depending on your standards.

By the way, Patrick, this is not a slam against you in any way... I merely wanted to bring it to folks' attention.

For some nice shots of Kermit Weeks' TP-40N, take a looksee at THIS page from my site...

No problem. P-40's are not my area of expertise and just wanted to get the image out there.
