Curtiss P-40 Warhawk

Also known as Tomahawk, Kittyhawk, Model 81 and Gypsy Rose Lee (depending on where someone was and which P-40 model was in question), the P-40 was an active participant in the 1940s global conflict. It was one of the top three most plentiful US fighters of the conflict. The P-40 experienced a long list of upgrades during its active lifetime as performance issues and shortcomings became apparent.

Despite these changes, the P-40 isn’t commonly regarded as a “top fighter” of its time but there is no denying its cool looks. This is one of the reasons it has become a desirable warbird for enthusiasts around the world. This particular model is quite rare. The P-40 went down in aviation history books as being an aircraft that handled well for very skilled pilots. However, it left them wishing they had something a little better. Basically, it looked better than it performed making it perfect for wealthy enthusiasts looking for a pretty aircraft to add to their collection.
