A pre-war production aircraft made famous by William Chanault's American Volunteer Group (AVG) aka the "Flying Tigers" that fought the Japanese in China prior to direct (official) American involvement in the war. One of my all time favorite warbirds along with the F-4U Corsair. The P-40 flew in nearly every theater. North Africa, Far East, Italy, with the USAAC, Canada, the UK, Aussies, and New Zeland . Between it and the Navy F-4 Wildcat, that's about all we had in respectable numbers when our backs were to the wall on Guadalcanal. Awesome plane. Love the sound of that Allison V12.
Cool Uniforms ! Nice try anyway, though it has more of a Captain Americaness to it than an airplane. I think using the distinctive tiger teeth or sharks teeth from the engine cowling on the helmet would have been a nice touch.
Now ULM in either Realtree or MossyOak, I could dig that. For the military appreciation, maybe something Fort Polkish
Just for kicks, cause they sound so good and look like what they are vintage warbird !
