The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is one of the most iconic American fighters of the Second World War. It distinguished itself in particular within the famous Flying Tigers group, a unit composed of American volunteer pilots operating in China before the official entry of the United States into the conflict. These pilots fought the Japanese air force using the P-40, recognizable by its aggressive livery and combat durability.
The P-40E version represented an improved evolution of the model with increased firepower, better maneuverability, and ground attack capability. Although technically outclassed by some enemy aircraft, the P-40E proved formidable in the hands of experienced pilots. Its role in the early months of the conflict in Asia gives it a special place in the history of military aviation.
