The P-40E, with a shortened nose, shortened landing gear, and armed with six 0.5-in (12.7mm) wing machine guns, was used extensively as a low-altitude close-support fighter. Numerous units were exported to the Allied air forces, among which 1,500 units served the FAR as P-40E Kittyhawk Mk. 1A. The British deployed the Kittyhawk in Northern Africa against the German Luftwaffe. Designed to meet a USAAC requirement for a pursuit aircraft, the P-40 Warhawk was first flown on October 14th, 1938. This aircraft was tough, virtually trouble-free and saw continual improvements to arms, armor and engines. The P-40 served in numerous combat areas; often outclassed by its adversaries in speed, maneuverability and rate of climb, it earned a reputation for extreme ruggedness. Its strong construction, heavy firepower, and ability to dive enabled it to compete with enemy fighters, and it was a formidable ground-attack aircraft. P-40s were also flown by the famed Flying Tigers against the Japanese in China. © Copyright 2003-2023 The Flying Mule, Inc.
