Hi, You're receiving this email because {name} thinks the Book - The Whole Nine Yards would interest you. This book celebrates and commenmorates the life of A29-448, a Curtiss P-40N Kittyhawk flighter flown for several months during World War 2 in a remote tropical warzone of the south-west Pacific with 75 Squadron RAAF, an Australian fighter squadron that fought with intense patriotism and bravery. Abandoned at the side of an iarstrip after a landing mishap, the aircraft lay forgotten for decades before being recovered and bought to New Zealand, with more decade passing before restoration commenced. Three years later the aircraft once again took to the air, a fully rebuilt example of an heroic era of warbirds. However this story is not only about the aircraft's restoration. It also traces pilots who flew it, men who hve graciously provided their stories of a time that is often painful to recall. It spans the history of the Kittyhawk aircraft, it's beginings, it's capabilities, it'sfoibles and its often neglected but important role as a low-level fighter-bomber.
