Title: P-40 Delivery by Carrier Ranger in May 1942 to Accra Africa Post by: ArmyAirCorpBrat on March 22, 2012, 09:06:37 PM First Lt. David W. Wallace was number 4 to take off, following Lt. Col. John E. Barr the CO of 33rd Pursuit into Africa, and onto Karachi to join 10th AF and 51st Fighter Group. I am interested in any information on this trip across the Atlantic, and across Africa and Asia to Karchi.
