American Dream has recently
been acquired by Kissimmee,
Florida’s Warbird Adventures
(see News). The fi ghter is
partly based on the remnants
of P-40N 42-104977, which was
shot down over New Guinea
in September 1943. Elements
of the 8th Fighter Squadron
machine were salvaged in
2005 and incorporated into an
Australian restoration project.
This was later converted into a
two-seat TP-40N variant, fl ying
in this confi guration for the
fi rst time on May 10, 2016 in
Colorado, US.
