More P-40 Warhawks for Victory!
- © Britt Dietz -

First built in 1938, this single engined Curtiss P-40 Warhawk (also known as the 'Tomahawk' and 'Kittyhawk') is probably most known not actually for it's service in the Army Air Force but flying for the 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG) with the Chinease Air Force in a group known as the 'Flying Tigers.' These American volunteers, eager to jump into the war, claimed over 100 enemy aircraft destroyed. The P-40 would be used in all theaters of the war including Africa and early models were present at Pearl Harbor the time of the attack. The classic 'Tigershark Mouth' seen on the P-40s is said to have originated from Royal Air Force in North Africa. While the P-40 had many strengths, by the time the WW2 was in full gear with all countries involved it was considered inferior compared to that of the Lightning, Thunderbolt, and Mustangs. However, the P-40 proved itself in breaking Japan's air power with the bulk of the 1941-1942 Army Air Force operations performed by P-40s. This 31 foot long 37 foot wide fighter had six .50 Cal machine guns and could carry up to 2,000 pounds of bombs. Over 15 countries would use the P-40 during it's service life with the Brazilian Air Force retiring their P-40s in 1958.
