History of the Curtiss P-40B/C aircraft:
The Curtiss P-40 aircraft – in B and C variants – was a single-seat fighter mainly used by the United States and its allies, such as Great Britain, China, and the USSR. The P-40 is famous for its role in the "Flying Tigers" campaign over China and Burma in the early years of World War II (1939–1945). These fighters also played a crucial role in the defense of British Africa and during combat in the Middle East. The main period of use was World War II.
