Photo Comment

Kittyhawk I AK752 served in the RCAF and received Canadian serial 1028. Found on a farm in Lethbridge, Alberta in 1975, it was restored by Col Pay, becoming the first warbird P-40 in Australia as VH-KTH. It was sold to Montana collector James Smith in 1994, and is still airworthy but rarely seen. Although it wore its proper Canadian markings in Australia, it now has a Flying Tigers sharkmouth with its construction number painted on the tailfin.
