Hey Loungers,
Anyone know anything about recovery efforts for a Flying Tigers P-40? A few years ago there was some info about one in a lake they were hoping to recover, but last I heard they hadn't been able to bring it up. There's some very sketchy info here: http://www.sinoam.com/flying_tiger/Current News Stories/Current_ News_ Stories.htm
Someone told me the plane had been recovered from the lake, but I can't find any confirming evidence. If it were true it would be fantastic--there are no P-40s left anywhere that flew with the AVG (although a museum in Thailand has an engine and propellor recovered from a crash site).
I figure if anyone knows anything, it's the good folks here.
