Near perfectly preserved Kittyhawk P-40 discovered in the Sahara
- Pilot of the Kittyhawk P-40 was thought to have survived crash, but died trying to walk out of the desert
- Aircraft was found almost perfectly preserved, unseen and untouched, after it came down in 1942
- Historian describes find as “an incredible time capsule” and “the aviation equivalent of Tutankhamun’s Tomb”
A bit late—it was discovered in May—but how awesome is this
