About The P-40 Kittyhawk
Derived from the earlier Curtiss P-36, the P-40 became one of the most widely used fighters of the war, serving from North Africa and Italy to China and the South Pacific between 1941 and 1944. Its robust airframe was powered by an Allison V-12 engine developing over 1,150 hp, giving a top speed of around 580 km/h. The P-40E—known as the Kittyhawk in Commonwealth service—was a particularly successful variant, armed with six 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine guns in the wings. With underwing hardpoints capable of carrying nearly 900 kg of bombs, it could also undertake close air support missions in addition to air superiority roles.
