The P-40E was in production mostly in 1942 and 2,320 E models were built by Curtiss in total. It carried six 50 calibre machine guns in the wings and was best known for its involvement in World War II. If properly handled it was a lethal weapon against the Japanese during the war. Two-thirds of them, designated Kittyhawk Mk IA and were used by the defence forces (RAF, the RCAF, the RAAF, and the RNZAF).
Pay's Kittyhawk was completed in 2006. |
