Martin, I think it's a P-40, made famous by the Flying Tigers in WWII. They were based in either Burma or China, if I remember correctly, and with superior flying outclassed the Japanese Zeroes, even though the P-40 was an inferior fighter to the Zero.

Yep, P40, also used by the RAAF in Africa I think.

It was a great airshow. Somehow I missed shooting the B17 in flight but did get the B29. I'll have some B17 shots when I develop my B&W taken with the Speed Graphic maybe this weekend.

Look closer, Leigh, there are four propellers.

They forgot to carry the 1.

Methinks a propeller sans engine is of limited value during takeoff.

Yes, judging from #3 propeller's arc, it does seem to be running a bit slower than the other three.
