When Paul Redlich and his team at Tri-State
Warbird Museum began work on their P-40M
project, they agreed this Kittyhawk deserved
to be restored to original condition. Eight
years and 32,000 man hours after it arrived
on a snowy February day in 2008, their goal
was fully achieved. This is the story of how
Tri-State Warbird Museum created a masterpiece
that won top honors in Oshkosh during
EAA’s AirVenture 2016.
