The P-40 Warhawk is one of the best-known U.S.
fighters of World War II. But despite its fame, the P-40 was not
one of the company's best performers. Outclassed in virtually every
way by other aircraft of its time, it was usually the loser when pitted
against a superior foe in air-to-air combat. Slow, lacking in maneuverability,
and not well armed, it was nearly a decade behind the competition when
it became the most important U.S. fighter during the early stages
of the war.

Description
During the summer of 1941, 300 young American men and women secretly
trained in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Within weeks of the Japanese
attack on Pearl Harbor, the daring exploits of the American Volunteer Group
(AVG) captured the imagination of the world. The Chinese called them
Fei Hu, for the shark's teeth painted on their planes. The world
knew them as the legendary Flying Tigers.
