The P40s would possibly be Flying Tigers then.

Wonderful images, everyone!

Thanks for the picture of the Nortons in Terborg. In return, here's another image with a motorcycle in the foreground.



I regret that I don't know where it came from.

Rich.

If remember correctly these pictures were taken after Flying Tigers were disbanded absorbed in the regular military. Though not dated these pictures would have taken at the earliest in summer or fall 1942 for a Pattern 12 to have gotten that far.

Hi Rob,

I think the C8A 'wreck' that Mike found is located in that wonderful Eastern Canadian province that you did the travelogue on recently.
