Response to Sahara H87 A3 Kitttyhawk,1of 540 direct British contract (last pre lend lease) oldest H87?

Hi Jim Sorry but what you are looking at in the Sahara is a P-40E-1CU. The fact it has a Wing Ammo box plated as a A-3 means nothing, as these parts were interchangable. The proof that it is a P-40E-1 is in both the videos and the stills, the associated features you would expect to see on an H87A-3 are not present. Buz
