rt in AM for "early P-40 parts P-40B or P-40C". This has a Calfornia Telephone number and the email address has a 'san francisco' in its name.

I had always assumed (incorrectly) that this was placed by Chris Prevost of Sonoma Valley (north of San Francisco) who I knew was restoring a P-40. However in AM August 2003 there is a picture of said P-40 and it is a 42-105306 P-40N (ex PNG and Charles Darby recovery 1974).

So I did an Internet search on the Tel Number and came up with another Chris (who I will not name but he owns P-51D-30NA)...

So the only question now is what early P-40 is it.. Could it be one of the ex Soviet AF ones that were with Tom Wilson and The Curtiss Hawk Factory?

So never assume as you make an ASS out of U and ME
