About the Relic & Process

This P-40E Warhawk air intake fragment was discovered near Murmansk, Russia, along the western shoreline of Kola Bay, approximately 40 kilometers from the city. The fragment, along with several other cockpit components, originated from a P-40E Warhawk, an aircraft delivered to the Soviet Union under the Lend-Lease Act during World War II. This international agreement between the United States and its allies provided critical support in the form of war materials, including aircraft, to help in the fight against the Axis powers.P-40E Warhawk Air Intake fragment

During the war, many P-40s were flown to Alaska and then ferried across the Bering Strait into Soviet territory, eventually reaching the northern regions of Russia. The rugged P-40, known for its resilience and adaptability, became a key component of Soviet air defense. These aircraft were used to defend strategic locations, including the port city of Murmansk, which was a vital hub for Lend-Lease shipments. The harsh conditions of the Russian landscape and the unforgiving climate took a toll on both the pilots and the planes, leading to the loss of many aircraft in the remote wilderness.

The Lend-Lease program provided more than 2,400 P-40s to the Soviet Union, helping to reinforce their air forces in the face of relentless German attacks.
