P-40 with a backwards drop tank

Sun Dec 14, 2008 9:39 pm

I remember seing in a book sometime ago a pic of a P-40 with the drop tank mounted backwards, in North Africa I think. Does anybody know why this was done?
Jack do you have a pic of this?
Thanks.

There is a pic of this bird in the Squadron Signal "P-40" in action book and it is featured in the cover artwork as well.
