Re: Kittyhawk Found in Sahara

Ludovico,

Now that 1035 has been reported and with the link, it is safe to report that the P40E Kittyhawk in the desert is now confirmed as Curtiss P40E-1-CU Curtiss shipping number 1035, construction number 19761, US serial 41-35928 and British serial ET574.

From the loss card for ET574 we know F/Sgt Dennis Copping was flying this plane.

The Copping family were made aware of the confirmation early last week but although the Kittyhawk has been found, F/Sgt Copping is still missing.

RIP

Mark
