Dads P-40C Notes from 1943

Post by markmco »

My Dad served in WWII, North African Campaign as a P-40 Warhawk mechanic. My prized possession is his Air Corp notebook with training information, notes and aircraft service information. The Leather bound book is still in nice shape and full of information.

Attached are a few samples from the book. I know the A2A P-40 project is closed, but maybe someone here has more information on the Warhawks and their role in Tunisia and Bizerte? Unfortunately, he passed away in the 80's. Certainly wish I listened harder to those few stories he and my uncles (all gone) talked about while playing cards.

Even though I don't have the A2A P-40, it would be cool to have a P-40 banner in his memory? Anyone able to make one?

That's a very cool piece to have. Unfortunately I can't make you a banner but I really appreciate you sharing this here on the forums.

Thank you
