Hawk 81A-2, Flying Tigers: # "3"

---

This is a pack of 4 skins of the same plane, at 3 different moments:

 

1. Toungoo, Burma, August to November 1941 (AVG03A).

2. Kunming, China, December 1941 (AVG03B).

3. Rangoon, Burma January to February 1942 (AVG03C and ABG03Cbis).

 

This Curtiss Hawk 81-A2 n° P-8103, took off for the first time in august 1941 at Toungoo airfield (Burma) and was written of at Rangoon (Burma) on 23 february 1942. It was flown by Dick ROSSI (6 victories) and also William BARTLING (5 victories). It has two little roundels (chinese and american) on each side of the cockpit. It seems that this plane has never received a shark mouth, but ROSSI said that it has one. So I have made two different version, with and without shark mouth.
