Hi All

My granddad server with the australian army in 42,43 and 44 I think. He mainly server in papua new gunea, milne bay and port moresby comes to mind. As a gift to him I would like to build a plane for him. He always tells me stories of p40’s and p38’s that were stationed there. If someone could give me some reference sites or anything like that I would be most thankfull.

thanks in advance

Dave

Dave-

Try these links - should be a good start for you and give you an idea on what you should be looking for on the net. Not sure if you’re referring to Australian or American P-40s/38s, but this should help.
