Dan,

send me some pics. I can tell you if they are P40,p47,P38 etc.

: Hi All,
:
: I've managed to stumble onto what appears to be a number o
: f drop tanks of various ages and sizes. I always like to
: know exactly what I'm purchasing, but the problem is that
: most have had a variety of attachments welded on at some p
: oint, and whatever identifying data plates or stencils hav
: e long since disappeared. Can anyone think of a source of
: information that could actually provide the exterior dime
: nsions (length, circumference, etc.) of vintage USAAF and/
: or Navy drop tanks? I'm going to try to get some photos a
: nd measurements taken this weekend.

: Thanks in advance!
