Notes:
This aircraft flown by Captain Ed Dyess of the 21st Pursuit Squadron, 
shown with 500 Lb. underslung bomb. This Fighter was the  last original 
combat aircraft on Bataan, just before the surrender. Together with its 
stablemate..the P-40 'Something' ... so named because it was built from
the pieces of several wrecks, and two cannibalised P-35 fighters, it was 
all that was left of the MacArthur's Air Force. 'Kibosh' flew America's last 
combat sortie from Bataan, then escaped to Cebu where it made a wheels 
up landing.
