That's interesting...I'd thought this Kitty (after re-restoration to turn it into an actual P-40) became "Shirley II", which I'd thought had gone to Gerry Beck.

Anyway, this would (at the time) have been "Old Exterminator"...a very hybridized bird, some of which was actually Curtiss, some NAA and some Bristol/Fairchild, from what I've heard and pix I've seen. And the "pretty good idea" should indeed be accurate! :-)
