This is a P-40E or E-1, this I know. Other than that, I've only tentative guesses.

EDIT: My tentative guess of '8th Fighter Squadron' has been confirmed, and this photo
is now included on the page for that outfit. Still not sure about the location, however.

'Title Goes Here'

I have no info at all for this P-40N. It's interesting to note that the national insignia
is in transition here; the fuselage marking has bars, with none on the wing.

The Pool Is Open

I have no concrete info for this P-40N, which appears to be 44-7960.
The 'POOL' marking on the rudder is interesting...
