Historical Information about the P-40 E/M

The Curtiss P-40 fighter, in its E and M variants, was widely used during World War II (period: 1939–1945) by the air forces of many Allied countries, including the United States, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, the USSR, and China. The P-40 was distinguished by its solid construction and reliability. It gained particular fame during the air campaign in China, where the American Volunteer Group—the famous “Flying Tigers”—used these aircraft. The fighters also took part in battles on the African, Mediterranean, and Pacific fronts.
