Yet another amazing discovery! So glad that this brave pilot was finally given the proper burial and honors he deserved. May he rest in peace.

Many thanks for posting!

I would like to echo Hauptman’s comments and add thanks to the dedicated people who’s efforts

will assure the restoration of this unique piece of history.

Gents,

As follow-up, the P-39Q was sold to the Ira G. Ross Aerospace Museum (formerly the Niagara Aerospace Museum) in Buffalo, New York. It was in the Buffalo, New York area that this plane was built during World War II.
