Curtiss P-40B Warhawk
Designed to meet the USAAC's demand for a pursuit aircraft, the P-40 Warhawk flew for the first time on October 14, 1938. The aircraft was rugged, virtually trouble-free and underwent constant improvements in weapons, armor and engines. The P-40 served in many combat zones, often outclassing its opponents in terms of speed, maneuverability and rate of climb, and earning a reputation for extreme ruggedness. Its solid construction, high firepower and dive capability enable it to rival enemy fighters, and it is a formidable ground attack aircraft. P-40s were also flown by the famous Flying Tigers against the Japanese in China.
