Re: Japanese captured P40s, is that a B17
Aloha All,
The NMF B-17C 40-3095 61/11B was flown from Hickam Field to Clark Field leaving 5 Sept 1941. The pilot was Captain Colin P Kelly, 0-20811, 42nd Bomb Sqdn (H). The Japanese kept the plane in those markings, however so briefly, and a GHOSTLY image of the "61" stayed on the plane.
The B-17Es were captured in Java.
Cheers,
