The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk
is an American single-engined, single-seat, all-metal fighter
and ground-attack aircraft 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 end of the war.
It was the third most-produced American fighter of World War II,
after the P-51 and P-47;
by November 1944, when production of the P-40 ceased,
13,738 had been built,
all at Curtiss-Wright Corporation’s main production facilities
in Buffalo, New York.
P-40 Warhawk was the name the United States Army Air Corps
gave the plane, and after June 1941,
the USAAF adopted the name for all models,
making it the official name in the U.S. for all P-40s.
The British Commonwealth and Soviet air forces
used the name Tomahawk for models equivalent to the original P-40, P-40B, and P-40C,
and the name Kittyhawk for models equivalent
to the P-40D and all later variants.
P-40s first saw combat with the British Commonwealth squadrons
of the Desert Air Force in the Middle East and North African campaigns,
during June 1941.
No. 112 Squadron Royal Air Force,
was among the first to operate Tomahawks in North Africa
and the unit was the first Allied military aviation unit
to feature the “shark mouth” logo,
copying similar markings on some Luftwaffe Messerschmitt Bf 110 twin-engine fighters.
