Re: Photo album
Thanks Ed. These are Capt. Harold D. "Hal" Collins' P-40K-1 and P-47-D-23, named for his wife; from March 1945 he flew P-51s from Iwo Jima with 78FS. The P-47 has black-yellow cowl bands and tail tip with their "Bushmaster"s insignia, on Hawaii.
The earlier P-40 (with added fin fairing) has the 78th's 2 yellow nose bands / spinner ring- the sqn. colour, both have his plane number 223 in white and Eleanor's name above. The 78th's range was 200-249. (Incidentally HMS "Victoria" is "Victorious"). From Jan. to April 1943 the P-40s were on Midway Is. Nick |

The P-47 seems to be 42-28125, but what about the P-40? Best I can do onboard the ship is 42-26189 again thinking the digits 6 and 8 tend to blend into each other as does 9 and 0. Cheers Stig |
