Could the one in the foreground be a P-40D? Only two wing guns. I know that a few were sent to Hawaii after Dec. 7th.

That door looks little different from my E model gun door except where the background colour seen through the slots is different and where the period after the S is.
Nice shots!

That was my assumption until I saw the photo. It does look like only 4 guns in the wing.

Glad you said it. I was looking at those pics for a while thinking something was fishy.

This may have been the first aviation research I ever did. Years ago I wondered how could the producers got a hold of so many P-40s. The P-40s didn't look quite right. I think the landing gear proportions and intake looked wrong to me. I found out from Wikipedia they were full sized models powered by automobile engines. They could taxi under their own power.
It was an aerial jackpot for me as I found out the Safety Plane did in fact, exist.

Anyone know what the rectangular object just in front of and above the passenger's head is? Antenna?

This belongs in a formal museum/memorial, somewhere it will be given the utmost care. Perhaps, the Hells Angels M.C. has room…Arvid Olsen served in this squadron and is credited with naming the club.ORIGINAL WWII RARE LARGE FORMAT FLYING TIGERS AVG 3RD SQDN PHOTO FROM ACE PILOT | eBay
