About the P-40:The P-40 is a United States built, single engine, single seat fighter and ground attack aircraft which first saw service with the British Commonwealth in August 1941 with the squadrons of Desert Air Force. After its first battle the P-40 continued to be used in great numbers during World War II. Its lack of a two-stage supercharger made it inferior to German fighters in high altitude battles so the P-40 was almost never used in operations in Northwest Europe. The P-40 has two common and well known names: the "Warhawk" in the United States, and the "Tomahawk" by the British Commonwealth forces. By the end of its manufacture in November of 1944, 13,738 P-40s had been produced. About the Flying Tigers:The "Flying Tigers" was an American Volunteer Group (AVG) of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), the United States Navy (USN), and the United States Marine Corps (USMC). The pilots were chosen by the secret Presidential sanction by Claire Chennault. Three squadrons trained in China and defended the Burma supply line to China before the American entry into WWII. The AVG first saw combat on December 20, 1941 and achieved notable successes against the forces of Japan during the worst period of the war for the United States. While only losing twelve of their own, the Flying Tigers destroyed almost 300 aircraft. Product Review
