New P-40s - still no Aussie markings
« Reply #30 on: July 08, 2002, 08:17:17 AM »
What's amazing is how many squadrons New Zealand fielded, considering the size of that country.  I hope that if the P-40N is added, it will be in ANZAC markings, to give credit where credit is due.  BTW, I also hope the Canadians get an aircraft with RCAF markings at some point too :).

hey, at least New Zealand has its top fighter ace in an AH aircraft already...

The SpitXIV  belongs to Colin Gray of course...

Is all this non-Kurt Tank-related?

 Always shoved to side is the contribution of ANZAC aircrew like 'Cobber" Kain, Alan Deere, Colin Gray, Robert Balfour, Hughie Edwards, 'Killer' Caldwell, Sir Keith Park etc.
