Aircraft History Built by Curtiss in Buffalo, New York. Delivered to the U.S. Army Air Force (USAAF) as P-40N Warhawk serial number unknown. Disassembled and shipped overseas to Australia and reassembled. Wartime History Assigned to the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) as P-40N Kittyhawk A29-??? (last three digitis unknown). Mission History This P-40 crashed near a sago swamp near a stream to the east of Tadji. Wreckage This P-40 is a twisted wing section, small pieces of wreckage and submerged engine. Traces of the outer blue circle of the RAAF roundell are the only marking visible. Justin Taylan visted the site in 2003: "I was shown this wreckage. Probably more of it once exisited, but it has been scrapped or picked thru over the decades. A villager removed the wing machine guns during January 2003 and had them on display at his house." Charles Darby adds: "Probably this is P-40N A29-1210. Did it have tail surfaces? If so, it is not 1210 as we salvaged the tail surfaces from that a/c and Armstrong subsequently took them to use in assembling P-40E 41-36166."
