P-40 C service history of one a/c

[edNorth]

Stig, I generally agree your comment. Been hard at revising but surprisingly very few additions to my 1991 Flugsaga book (1939-1941 part was out that year, try eBay) has it PS on arrival. My resoning is USAAC became AAF June 1941and some say changed Pursuit to Fighter then. But the AAC/AAF was very old (Army) fashioned and term lingered on, and Officially changed later (15 May 1942). But the 33rd Squadron (detached from 8 PG) was integrated into US Army, Iceland Base Command in September 1941 (and AAF was not in "over" command but in "under" command situation, in co-op with RAF Iceland (CC)) as US Army "ran the show" here. Most sources refer to it as 33rd Squadron only. But Armchair Generals will undouptedly continiu dissagree but thats quite OK. -Eggert

Ooops Ed

Never realised you already published it.....29 years ago.
Checked the internet/Amazon and so on. No luck unfortunately.

On the other hand I do have five other books covering the civil side of things in Iceland up to 1941

With regard to aircraft, 1940-41 must have been a "shock" to the population.
Going from almost zero to many 100s, many just transiting through of course, but still.

Cheers
