Good to see actual Chinese Air Force markings at last, rather than yet another Flying Tigers scheme......moan groan moan!

Nice piccies Tony Clarke.....do you work for OFMC, IWM, TFC, ARCO, HFL etc ?

According to Osprey's "P40 Aces", P-11151, White 663 was a P40N assigned to Capt Wang Kuang Fu (6.5 kills), but it's fuselage code was 13 and not 88.......why the discrepency ?
Was it coded differently at different times ?
Or is someone superstitious about Number 13 ?

Can't wait to see the new colours on the P51 and F4U......pity other operators don't repaint their planes more often like OFMC and the BBMF.......it would renew peoples' interest in their machines.....moan groan moan !
