Sure looks like a fake P-40 to me in the background. Could it be from the filming of PH?

The modern pictures are mine and that was a 1944 C-1 that was for sale. Yes that is a Pearl Harbor P-40 dummy.

The prop dolly for sale in the photos above belongs (belonged...not sure) to Jim Berteo at Eagle Field. Here is the link to the post on G503.com:

We have one at our museum that came out of government surplus. I think it was dated 1986 but is exactly the same except for the fenders. It even has the same WWII designation.
