Firebird,

Thanks very much, that is great news. I’ll go catch up on the story.

UPDATE:

I’ve made a mistake somewhere, it appears Lefty’s P-39L is in fact P-38L-5-LO #44-53254, and is a Lockheed built example. I know that in the 1970s there were 2 wrecks that were Vultee Nashville examples. One of those was “Scatterbrain Kid” N38LL which was destroyed in a fatal crash in October of 1974. (This aircraft was painted as “Yippee” in the mid 1960s, some of that time with a camera nose.) Further study required.
