The owner of the aviation museum called "Fantasy of Flight" out of Kissimmee Florida has a TP-40, if you look up the museum they may be able to help you with the information on it.
Or if you know what training unit or AAF Field it was out of try googling that on the net.

if you haven't found this site they have "Unit" specific areas to post on, give er a try,
ArmyAirForces.com

Good luck!

I don't know if you've come across this site but I think it would be useful in your search,
ArmyAirForces.com

They have a very large group of knowledgeable people,try a posting there, also you might want to try one of the Air Commando units for this set up, try googling one of these 2nd,3rd,or 4th ACG.

Good luck!

Hello members, I do free ID of any WW2 USAAF/USN/USMC flying unit emblems that you may have but do not know what unit, I enjoy doing this and have a good 25+ years of research work on them,both "Official" and "Unofficial" types.
Please send a scan/photo of any and I'll do my best to get it an ID, looking forward to hearing from you, have a great day !!!!

Much thanks for posting the photos of the memorail plaque about Capt.Hampshire and the airport named for him, it is always good to see that people such as he are not forgotten for what they did for us during WW2, and I am glad you posted the photos as I didn't know of this memorial ! Those boys were a special bunch and I got to meet some of the AVG boys a few years back and it was an honor to be able to talk with them and get photos/autographs of them, it really brings to life the stories I've read of thier exploits and missions !!!
All of them and all the other veterans of WW2 are "The Greatest Generation" !!!!!!!!

Have you tried finding out if they have a web site Group/sqd page ? if so you could contact them direct and I'm sure they would have leads to the markings and photos etc, good luck and happy building !

Some years ago I had the opportunity to meet a bunch of the Real WW2 AVG pilots and crew,man that was a lifelong memory for me to say the least, I got to meet Tex Hill,R.T. Smith and others and got photos and autographs of them all,being able to meet them one on one after reading so much about them really brought it all to life,I am very glad to have been able to do this as so many veterans are passing every day it was a time I would not have missed for anything !!!!!! They were a special breed and as many have said "The Greatest Generation' !!!!!!!!   I salute all WW2 veterans and am greatful for what they all did for our freedom today !!!!!!

To all veterans that have served and are serving- My UTMOST thanks to you for what you did for us and are doing, the sacrifices made and yet to be made, all are GREATLY appreciated and will not be forgotten and niether will you be forgotten, I raise a glass in toast to you all, God Bless you and THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!

Hello, like the American Units the lettering on the fuselage of an aircraft like GM/D was so you could know what Squadron it was with, if you have book/s on RAF aircraft look for the same letters "GM" on other P-40's and the photo may tell you what unit it is, or try a RAF site and see if it is shown there. the letter "D" would be for the individual aircraft "call letter" so someone in the same unit could tell them hey "D" you have a Zero on your 6  !

I hope this helps you some!

Good looking P-40 there, is that "Holdin my Own" on the tail?  I'm a nose art and unit emblem nut and it looks like that one.
Keep up the good work and glad you found the site!
