2-seater obviously. It was equipped with a mirror system so the back
seat guy could see.

in 2001 there was one of these nearing restoration completion at Kermit
Weeks place in Tamiami, FL.

according to Joe Baugher's database.


Three P-40N-25-CUs were converted as two-seat trainers under the
designation RP-40N-26-CU.

Twenty-two N-30s were converted to two-seat trainers as P-40N-31-CU.
Seventy were converted to P-40R-1 trainers in 1944.

no additional info on the tail numbers on those aircraft

44-7156 falls in the timeframe..

I that's the piece (arrowed), I'm trying to figure just how it worked.

It looks like a periscope, the other mirror being on the student's
headrest.

To be useful from the rear seat there'd have to be another mirror below it,
periscope fashion.
