The Curtis P-40 was a single-engine, single-seat, low-wing, all metal fighter and ground attack aircraft which first flew in 1938, and was used in great numbers throught WWII. It was a direct adaptation of the existing P-36 airframe to enable mass production of frontline fiighters with minimal development time.

This reissue features four new pages with color photographs and locations of 'Still Airworthy' and 'On Display', modern examples of the P-40.
