This P-40 is actually a Kittyhawk export version of the P-40E. She served with the RAF as AK987 and then the RCAF as 1068. It is on display at the National Museum of the USAF as the aircraft flown by then Col. Bruce Holloway, a pilot in both the Flying Tigers and its successor Army Air Forces unit, the 23rd Fighter Group. Registered as N1237N in 1947 and N5673N in 1948m and registration cancelled in 1972.
