so what is the story behind it? how'd it crash?


Mid-air w/ another P-40, Hal recovered some of it as well. In fact if I remember correctly, the prop that you see in the pictures came from the 2nd P-40, and the engine was there too.


hmm

450324; P-40N 43-24362; 342CCTS ex Perry AAF, FL; CREF (crashed, engine failure); Rom, Roy C.; 5M SW Old Town, FL

I have two others in a mid-air that day:

P-40N 43-24703; 335CCTS Dale Mabry Field, AL; MAC; Taylor, Richard B.; 6M NE Tallahassee, FL
P-40N 44-744; 335CCTS Dale Mabry Field, AL; BOMAC; Tate, Lake E.; 6M NE Tallahassee, FL

He has two different piles of wreckage for sale. One is 500k and the other
is 250K. Too funny. :lol:

Also it appears that the good parts (i.e. new canopy, new motor) are not included. Add says 'also available' on the parts.
