Description:
Overshadowed in the Pacific and Europe by the Mustang, Lightning, and Thunderbolt, the P-40 enjoyed its greatest glory in China, Burma, and India. In China, for example, the American Volunteer Group, a band of mercenary pilots combating Japanese bombers over the mainland, was credited with destroying 286 Japanese aircraft. Garishly painted with fearsome jaw nose art, the P-40s of these "Flying Tigers" earned a spot among the most recognizable aircraft of the war.
