Thanks a lot for your help.

I will add this profile to my bucket list but I want to be sure about some details

Due to the profile no writing of US ARMY on the underside.

Is this correct or this should be added ? Any comments ?

Thanks again

As far as the U.S. ARMY marking on the lower wing there are photos of other US appropriated P-40s without the

marking (John Landers "Texas Longhorn" being one example).

 

Perhaps a photo will surface? 

 

Below is the information on the serial number for the particular aircraft in question.

US serial is 41-25125 and the British serial is ET449...

 

25125 (ET449, MSN 19144) to New Zealand as NZ3097, handed over from USAAF 68th PS to the RNZAF 15 Sqdn on 27 Oct 27, 1942

at Fua'amotu in the Kingdom of Tonga.

Damaged in forced landing after engine failure. RNZAF Base Ohakea, NZ. Jun 31, 1945. 

 

Written off the books at Ohakea Aug 6, 1945
