Curtiss P-40N Warhawk

Designed to meet the USAAC's need for a pursuit aircraft, the P-40 Warhawk first flew on October 14, 1938. The aircraft was rugged, virtually trouble-free, and underwent constant improvements in armament, armor, and engines. The P-40 served in many combat zones; often outclassed by its opponents in speed, maneuverability, and rate of climb, it earned a reputation for extreme ruggedness. Its solid construction, high firepower, and dive capability allowed it to compete with enemy fighters, and it was a formidable ground attack aircraft. P-40s were also flown by the famous Flying Tigers against the Japanese in China.

General Characteristics, Armament, & Performance details are located inside the flap of the box.
