Attachment decoded: P-40 Raft.jpg


would love to know the story behinfd this one...


IIRC it had something to do with getting around a neutrality
legislation the US had prior to Dec. 7th '41 and the P-40s were going
to Canada for use against the nazis in yurp.. Although I have been
wrong a few times in the past...

"The second picture is the airplane arriving at Salt Spring
Island, British Columbia, Canada after being purchased (towed
from Pat Bay Air Station to Salt Spring Island by a fishing
boat while on a raft of logs!). The rest of the pictures show
how she looks today back at Pat Bay Airport, Sidney, British
Columbia."
