Classic Wings Down Under Vol.7 #2 (2000)
 
When, in early 1998, a USAAF 79th Fighter Group Curtiss P-40L Kittyhawk was pulled from the sea near Latina, Italy, little was known of its past. Until that time, the light-weight Merlin engined 'L' model P-40 had in fact been an extinct species in the world of preserved wartime aircraft, making this recovery all the more significant. Now, the full story of P-40L 42-10857 and its pilot Michael Mauritz is told here by Marco Giannitrapani and Dave McDonald with photographs by Alfonso Colla.
 
Classic Wings was created in 1994 as the culmination of many years of wanting to see a vintage/warbird magazine that was created for owners, restorers, pilots as well as enthusiasts of these machines, by people who are themselves participants at all levels of these activities.
