Wicked!
A very cool pic. Thanks for posting.

That’s pretty interesting to see what looks like a flat belly tank slung under the P-40. Gives one an interesting look at how they can tweak their model!

Wow! Don’t forget to duck!
Awesome! "Looks like plenty of air cover ahead- better keep your eyes peeled for Zeroes! Better not hit any more photographers- CO’d not be so nice this time! " 
Awesome pic mate, thanks for sharing.
Did someone say duck?

That '38 is right down there mowing the grass…impressive!
“Scatterbrain Kid”…I saw that aircraft fly at a CAF show in Harlingen when I was very, very young. Cool to see a photo of her 
Did someone else say DUCK?!!

I wish I could have seen this one fly, but I was only about 1½ - 2 years old when it was destroyed. I think that first picture, down low with the feathered prop, kinda gives justification to the name, too! [:p]

Is that P-38 (first pic) down on the deck with one prop feathered? Awesome![:D]
Nice P-40 pix. That’s what you call real close air support![;)]
Fantastic pics…thanks very much.
And if it’s not too much trouble, may I ask you (on all the Forum users behalf) to keep 'em coming?
Your image library is incredible.
that P-38 is cool ! on a feathered prop too !
Anybody need a haircut? Just stand up.Wow, those are some awesome pics!

If that is from the same place, and it certainly looks it, it is definately from Empress Augusta Bay probobly 1 Nov 1943 the day of the initial landing
