#5

The following eight photos all show P-40 39-160, the fifth production P-40,
while serving with the 10th Air Base Squadron at Chanute Field.

Some sources state that this ship is 39-159. Until I come across definitive
evidence that she is '159', I will keep her listed as 39-160.

In this shot, '160' gets a bit of TLC while keeping company with a PT-13.

More TLC for '160'... this time inside one of the hangars at Chanute.

The information I have concerning this photo of a P-40E indicates that it may
have been taken at Chanute Field... but I am not totally sure about this.
Until info to the contrary comes to light, this image will remain here.

Written on the reverse is: "P-40 used for instruction"
