A Workhorse of American Air Power

The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was one of the most widely used American fighters of WWII. Though not the fastest or most agile aircraft of the war, it was rugged, reliable and available in large numbers. It served on nearly every front, from the deserts of North Africa to the jungles of the Pacific, and became a true workhorse of Allied air power.

The Flying Tigers and the Shark Mouth

The P-40 earned lasting fame through the American Volunteer Group, better known as the Flying Tigers, who flew it in China. Their pilots painted the fighter's nose with a large shark mouth, a fearsome decoration that became one of the most famous nose art designs in aviation history. The image of the snarling P-40 remains an enduring symbol of the early war years.
