Re: Shot Down P-40F-57FG?

Kaiyan...........could still be the P-40F-10 or L-5 blocks listed above; if the 504 is on the fin on the right side it's the last 3 numbers of the serial. Looks like it's neither of these though ( 41-14504 or 42-10504 ) as both of these were condemned on 8 July 1944). P-40Ls had a radio mast as standard but the 4 guns are the best guide ( that's from the L-5 block, also lengthened fuselage). Can you post a link to the photo?
John .....that's a normal mirror fitting for these early P-40s, offset slightly to port.
