Restoration Commissioned By The National WWII Museum in New Orleans To Be Showcased At Gillespie Air Center
A group of local students and two master fabricators led by a retired executive have replicated to the last detail a World War II-era aircraft commissioned by The National WWII Museum in New Orleans. The P-40 Curtiss Warhawk, with 7 White 23rd Fighter Group, Burma, squadron markings, better known as "The Flying Tigers," will be displayed in the Museum's new Campaigns of Courage Pavilion inside the Road to Tokyo: Pacific Theater Galleries, opening in 2015.
