This is a unique opportunity to own an actual relic of a P-40E-1-CU Warhawk that was acquired directly from the source and has NEVER been in collectors’ circulation.

Known Relic History

This fine art print was commissioned by the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, VA, and features relic material from their restored P-40E Warhawk. Originally transferred to the British as a Kittyhawk 1a under serial number 41-35918, this aircraft was later supplied to Russia's 19th Guards Regiment under the Lend-Lease program during World War II. Serving on the Eastern Front, the P-40 saw action as part of the Soviet effort to defend against the advancing German forces.Aluminum skin from P-40E Warhawk 41-35918 that is the relic included in the "Return From Canton" limited edition prints

After decades of being lost to history, the aircraft was recovered in 1992, having been preserved in the Russian tundra. The restoration of this aircraft brought it back to flying condition, where it now bears the markings of American Volunteer Group (AVG) Ace David Lee "Tex" Hill’s P-40E Warhawk, serial number 41-5658, designated as “108.” Tex Hill was one of the Flying Tigers, the renowned group of volunteer pilots who fought for China against Japan before the U.S. officially entered the war. His P-40, with its signature shark-mouth nose art, became an iconic symbol of air power and bravery during the conflict in the Pacific.
