Once again, I'm copy/pasting from elsewhere. Good stuff, or I would not bother.

In the last week of March of this year, a World War II Curtiss P-40 was found intact in the Sahara desert. It was last heard from in April of 1942. The British pilot either became lost or was shot down. It's been remarkably preserved in the dry desert climate after 70 years. The plane is a Kittyhawk MkIA, bearing markings of the 260th Squadron, Royal Air Force. Its pilot's fate is unknown. P-40s first saw combat with the British Commonwealth squadrons of their Desert Air Force in the Middle East and North African campaigns during June 1941.
