Claim for an Axis P-40
Hi,
I recently came accross the story of the shooting down of an Axis "captured" P-40 by a B25 aircrew from the 310th BG. Has anyone any details of this event ? Alex |

Re: Claim for an Axis P-40
Alex,
310th BG claims list does indeed mention an "hostile P-40" on such sites as web-birds.com. On same site is this 57th FG P-40 that fell in Italian hands in Tunisia: http://www.web-birds.com/12th/57/57-30.jpg Regards, Leendert |
