Aircraft History
This P-40 was originally intended for the RAF with serial number ET889. Instead, diverted to Australia to the USAAF 5th Air Force.

Mission History
Crashed near Kokoda.

Officially condemmed after an accident (non-combat) on March 2, 1943.

Jason Cockayne adds:
"This aircraft is particularly interesting as it still has the "Texas Longhorn" artwork on the cowling, and the previous number 81 on the fin."
