Re: Curtiss P-40 shot down at Särkisalo: K-1/5 or 15?
Hello,
If you can beleive that the Constructors number actualy is "19509" then it can only be a P-40E-1 serial number range:
41-35874 to 41-36953
Constructors number 19395 to 20474.
Which would make it -
41-35988 - 19509
BUT the numbers are not always consecutive.
There is a small run of numbers given in the JB site
down to "19544" - 41-25033 so if the run of those numbers continues down then we arrive at "19509" being 41-24998 which was ET322 but that was DBR in a belly landing at Zuara on July 20th 1943.
Then the Engine type, given as V-1710-73 was for the Kittyhawk III (P-40K & K-1).
So confusion reigns.
Alex
