Curtiss P-40B Tomahawk, AVG serial P-8194, flew as White 7 with the 1st Squadron, the "Adam and Eves," of the American Volunteer Group (Flying Tigers) in China. Its pilot, Robert H. Neale, was born in Vancouver and raised in Washington State, and became the group's top ace with 13 victories. He took over command of the 1st Squadron and was in China in June 1942, as the group wound down. After the AVG disbanded on July 4, 1942, he volunteered two more weeks of service and led the U.S. Army's 23rd Fighter Group as a civilian until Colonel Robert Scott arrived. 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 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
