Rare warplane that survived Pearl Harbor attack returning to US

 

A New York-built American fighter that's one of the few remaining

still-airworthy planes to survive the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor is

being donated to a Massachusetts-based organization that flies World

War II aircraft at living history events across the nation.

 

Robert Collings, executive director of the Stow, Massachusetts-based Collings

Foundation, said that the purchase of the Curtiss P-40B Warhawk from an

aviation museum in England was completed this week. The plane will be

disassembled and shipped to the United States, where it eventually will

fly over Buffalo and other cities, with plans to participate in the 75th

anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack in 2016, he said.
