CURTISS Warhawk (N2416X)

"5" Stars, Ron!!! Thanks for sharing this one with us!

This P-40E was originally assigned USAAF s/n 41-5709 according to Joe Baugher's published information.

He adds to the unique history of this Curtiss Warhawk also:

"5709 crashed on landing at Fort Randall, Cold Bay, Alaska Sep 26, 1942. Hulk stripped and abandoned on airfield dump. Found buried in Alaska in 1983 and excavated in 1987. Restored to airworthy 1996-2009. Registered as N2416X. Now with Texas Flying Legends Museum. The P-40E wears the colors of Colonel Robert L. Scott Jr’s aircraft while he commanded the 23rd FG in the China-Burma-India Theatre during WWII."

Thanks!
