BELL P-39 AIRCOBRA

Two Aircobras (P-400, the export version) were recovered by an American, Jack Taft, (now deceased), from Bulldog, for restoration, on the condition that the best one stayed in PNG. One, P400 AP-347, was subsequently shipped back to the USA and the other ended up at the South Pacific Aero Club where I think it still is. After Jack Taft's death AP-347 was sold to the Fighter Factory, Suffolk, Virginia, where it was in storage as of August 2010.
