Trying to find Serial number of P-40/325th FG/ 317th FS lost on July 10th 1943
Hello Gentlemen and ladies, I wonder if you can help me with this puzzle.
The P-40 was that of William R. Reed, 317th CO between Jan 1943 and Jan 1944. I have tried to find pictures of Reed, but so-far have drawn a blank. I know he was using a distinctive Shark Mouth noseart on his cowling, and called it "Lone Tiger", as he had transferred in from the Flying Tigers. William R. Reed was flying the P-40 escorting B-25's to Trapani, when he was shot down on July 10th 1943, from which he was made POW for a brief time before Italy capitulated. Although ideally I would love to know the fuselage number that I assume Reed would have chosen as CO, just knowing the serial number would be a starting point. Does anyone have any information that would help? Yours, Neil.
