Delivering P-40s to land bases by carrier. If a B-25 can do it why not P-40s? [;)]

Interesting! I didn't know that?

From what I've read the P-40's held the line until the modern fighters were available. At least with the Army Air Force?

As a kid I bought a model of HMS Iron Duke. Thought she looked awesome. And still think she got the look.

Fixed that for you [;)]

I don’t think I’ve seen the picture of the two of them before - it’s normally the shot of a B-25 taking off from Hornet that accompanies raid stories. Nice.

So I *did* have the name wrong. My bad :)

I've never seen a pic of them together either.

The USS New York is the sister ship of the USS Texas - moored at San Jacinto. See my posts 98 and 100 for how it looks now.
