Description

The Curtiss P-40B Tomahawk entered service with the US Army Air Corps in 1939 and was used extensively by the Allied air forces until being replaced by the P-40E and later versions.

The Tomahawk first saw combat with the Commonwealth squadrons of the Desert Air Force and later with the American Volunteer Group in China.

The P-40B was armed with 4 x 7.7mm machine guns and 2 x 12.7mm machine guns, the P-40C could also carry bombs or a drop tank below the fuselage.

This example is a P-40B of the 47th Pursuit Squadron USAAC 1941.
