Curtiss Kittyhawk P-40
This Curtiss Kittyhawk P-40 was found abandoned on the Sahara. The plane was forced to land here back in 1942 and was discovered by a Polish Oil Company worker discovering a region of the Western Desert in Egypt. Also known as Tomahawk, Kittyhawk, Model 81 and Gypsy Rose Lee (depending on where you were and which P-40 model was in question), the P-40 was an active participant in World War II. It was one of the top three most plentiful US fighters of the war.
