History of the Curtiss P-40
AVG Flying Tigers
The Curtiss P-40 was an
American single-engine, single-
seat, low-wing, all-metal fighter and
ground attack aircraft that was used
extensively in World War II. It was a
direct adaptation of the P-36 Hawk to
enable mass production of front line
fighters without significant
development time. By the time the
last plane rolled off the production
line in November 1944, a total of
13,738 P-40s had been
manufactured. First flown in 1938,
the P-40 has been operated by the
air forces of 28 countries. The
United States Army Air Corps made
Warhawk the official name of all P-
40s in the US. British
Commonwealth air forces gave the
names Tomahawk and Kittyhawk to
different variants.
The P-40 had good agility,
especially at high speed. It was one
of the tightest-turning monoplane
fighters of the war, although at lower
speeds it was not comparable to
highly maneuverable Japanese
fighters. The P-40 lacked
sophisticated innovations but had a
very strong structure. Though inferior
to the Mitsubishi A6M Zero,
operational range was good by early
war standards, almost double that of
the Supermarine Spitfire.
During 1941-1944, the P-40
played an important role with Allied
air forces in five major theaters
around the world: China, the
Mediterranean Theater, the South
East Asian Theater, the South West
Pacific Area and in Eastern Europe.
In the first major battles at Pearl
Harbor, the Philippines and in the
Dutch East Indies, Warhawks being
flown by the US Army Air Force
(USAAF) were destroyed by
Japanese fighters. After improved
tactics and training, the often
outnumbered P-40s were able to
triumph over the Imperial Japanes
Navy and the Japanese Army Air
Force in later battles. In the
Mediterranean Theater of
Operations, although the P-40
suffered heavy loses, many US P-40
aircraft had good combat records
and were able to rack up high kill to
loss ratios against the Germans
and Italians.
