NEW 1/72 decals (and 1/48 to follow soon) !
Rising Decals vient de sortir un nouvel assortiment de P-40N porteurs de crânes blancs sur leurs capots ! Il est prévu d'en retrouver certains au 1/48 bientôt !
New 1/72 decals for Burma Banshees P-40N. Some should also soon become available in 1/48 scale.
À noter que les damiers de bout d'ailes (intrados) sont aussi fournis, pour tenir compte des nouvelles infos sur le #15 (?) de Bob Gale.
P-40N #42 Betty Jean
A new picture of P-40N #42 via Bill Maegerlein, allows us to ID this plane: 42-104586 seen from the starboard side, after a belly landing
Une nouvelle image via Bill Maegerlein, permet enfin de connaître l'identité de ce P-40N, ainsi que son "nom": Betty Jean.

Searching for Owen Allred, follow-up !
Bob Contreras sent me this link to the trailer about a documentary being done on his search for Owen Allred. Good luck, Bob !
Capt. Owen R. Allred was the subject of an earlier post on this blog: https://burmabansheesblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/captain-owen-r-allred.html

C-46 & 88th FS P-40Ns at Myitkyina
Enfin, une meilleure version de cette vue des P-40N du 88thFS à Myitkyina !
At last, a better version of that crappy image found in a CBI booklet !
The new one comes from a "Chindits" page
Some 88thFS P-40Ns can be seen, and the first one appears to have a name painted on it. A better rez & uncropped version can probably be found in a museum...
