Background: The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was an all metal, single-engine, single-seat fighter and ground-attack aircraft that made its maiden flight in 1938. Since the P-40 was a modified P-36 Hawk it was developed quickly and entered service in record time. The USAAF referred to the aircraft as the Warhawk while the British Commonwealth and the Soviet Union called the B and C variants Tomahawk while the D and later variants were called Kittyhawk. By the end of production in 1944 approximately 18,000 aircraft were manufactured. In 1940 Charles (Chuck) Older was assigned to VMF-1. In July 1941 he resigned the Marines and joined the AVG. The 3 AVG squadrons were “Adam and Eve”, “Panda Bear” and “Hell’s Angels” to which Older was assigned. In December 1941 Older scored 5 victories over Rangoon, Burma. Older became a double Ace with the AVG and later added 8 more victories. Older fought in Korea and when he retired became a judge who presided over the Charles Manson case Specifications For Curtiss-Wright P-40 Manufacturer / Curtiss - Wright Corporation P-40 Produced All Variants - 17,738 Role - Fighter, Ground-Attack First Flight - 1938 Crew - 1 Dimensions Length P-40B - 31 ft 8 in (9.66 m) P-40E - 31 ft 8 in (9.66 m) P-40F - 31 ft 2 in (9.8 m) P4-F-5-CU Onward 33 ft 4 in (11.38 m) P-40N - 33 ft 4 in (11.38 m) Wingspan P-40B/E/F/N - 37 ft 4 in (11.38 m) Height P-40B/E/F/N - 12 ft 4 in (3.76 m) Weight Empty P-40B - 5,590 lb (2,535 kg) P-40E - 6,350 lb (2,880 kg) P-40F - 6,590 lb (2,990 kg) P4-N - 6,405 lb (2,905 kg) Max Take Off P-40B - 7,600 lb (3,447 kg) P-40E - 8,810 lb (4,000 kg) P-40F - 9,350 lb (4,238 kg) P-40N - 8,860 lb (4.020 kg) Armament P-40B - 2 X .50 cal (12.7 mm) 4 X 0.30 Browning Machine Guns P-40E - 6 X .50 cal (12.7 mm) Browning M2 Machine Guns With 281 Rounds Up to 1,500 lb (680 kg) Of Bombs On 3 Hardpoints P-40F - 4 or 6 X Browning Machine Guns With 240 – 312 Rounds Per Gun, 2 X 500 lb (227 kg) Bombs P-40N - 4 X .50 cal (12.7 mm) Browning M2 Machine Guns Up To 1,500 lb (680 kg) Of Bombs On 3 Hardpoints Payment: We accept payment via PayPal Payment is expected within 4 days of purchase CN and HK customers can ask for the specific payment method The item price and shipping cost are exclusive of any import duties and taxes Delivery & Shipping: ***For any parcel ship to Hong Kong, please contact our customer service for further discuss on shipping rate*** The order will be handled within 1-3 working days after receipt of the payment.
