The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is an American single-engined, single-seat, all-metal fighter-bomber that first flew in 1938. The P-40 design was a modification of the previous Curtiss P-36 Hawk which reduced development time and enabled a rapid entry into production and operational service. The Warhawk was used by most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in frontline service until the ...

The P-40 was the United States' best fighter available in large numbers when World War II began. P-40s engaged Japanese aircraft at Pearl Harbor and in the Philippines in December 1941. They also served with the famed Flying Tigers in China in 1942, and in North Africa in 1943 with the 99th Fighter Squadron, the first African American U.S ...

The production P-40 (Model 81A) were nearly identical to the XP-40, but was built with a 1,040 hp (780 kW) V-1710-33s and one .30 M1919 Browning in each wing. The company designation was changed to Model 81 due to the extensive changes from the standard Model 75. France, who was a large operator of the P-36, was interested in this fighter and ...

The P-40 remained in production from 1939 to the end of 1944 and a total of 13, 737 were built. Design engineer Dr. Donovan R. Berlin layed the foundation for the P-40 in 1935 when he designed the agile, but lightly-armed, P-36 fighter equipped with a radial, air-cooled engine. The Curtiss-Wright Corporation won a production contract for 210 P ...

e型機也是p-40系列續航力末位，僅有1,529公里。雖然e型機動力較弱，但火力、防禦和俯衝性能在同時期產物中則相對處於較高水準，在空戰中貫徹"一打就跑"戰術、或以縱向梯隊輪番攻擊的話表現尚稱不惡，對地掃射的威力與生存性也令人信賴。

P-40戰鷹式戰鬥機由柯蒂斯-萊特公司（Curtiss Wright）以該公司設計生產的P-36戰鬥機機體，搭配上艾利遜發動機公司研製的V-1710-19液冷式發動機結合而成的新戰鬥機。 就性能而言，P-40與1940年代初的軸心國戰機相比顯得較平庸；然而它是1941年美國正式參戰時唯一已經進入量產階段的單座戰鬥機，因此本 ...

Although outmatched by many adversaries at the time, the Curtiss P-40 was the best fighter the US Army could field on the eve of WWII. Even so, it held the line while faster and more capable aircraft were developed and produced. P-40s comprised more than half of the US Army Air Forces’ fighter strength until July 1943!
