P-40 – Foster Field, Texas

P-40 – Foster Field, Texas

Yet another in the series of postcards collected by grandma.  This one is blank on the back except for the usual postcard markings on the back.  It’s possible grandpa brought this home himself to show her the planes he saw every day while he was stationed at Foster Field in Texas.  The bottom of the card notes this is the P-40, and the name Maggie is written on the plane.  The tail number is 9280, and there’s some sort of skull image just behind the cockpit (possibly the insignia of the squadron).  The cockpit is open, and the pilot is smiling right at us which is WILD, but makes for an incredible photo.
