I have no info whatsoever about this P-40M's wartime history other than the fact that she was
delivered to the RCAF as a Kittyhawk III and given the serial '845'.

After the war she was put up for disposal at Patricia Bay and initially went to Vance Roberts of Seattle, WA, who kept the aircraft until 1950. From there it passed through several hands and I believe that it may have been used as a crop duster and as a cloud seeder before becoming a static display piece as part of a museum located in Reno, NV. In 1982 the aircraft was acquired by Bill Destafani and restored to flying condition, taking to the sky in 1983 after almost twenty years on the ground.

In 1991 she went to the Lone Star Flight Museum in Galveston, TX and stayed there until acquired by Jeff Clyman of Long Island City, NY, where she remains today.
