CURTISS P-40E WARHAWK
THE FIRST AMERICAN FIGHTER OF WWII
All American fighter at the outset of WWII. Just two lone P-40 WARHAWKS managed to get airborne over the skies of Pearl Harbor, December 7th, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy. Made famous by the courageous men of the All Volunteer Group in China before the war, the Curtiss P-40 had an impressive kill record against the nimble Japanese ZERO. Using specialized tactics, the famous shark-toothed livery was adopted, and the Flying Tigers were airborne. It is possible that there is no cooler looking piece of history.
