Summary

[edit]
Description
Nederlands: Curtiss Kittyhawk IV in het RAF Museum, Hendon, London. De Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is een Amerikaanse eenmotorige, eenpersoons, volledig metalen jachtbommenwerper die voor het eerst vloog in 1938. De Warhawk werd gebruikt door de meeste geallieerde mogendheden tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog en bleef in dienst tot het einde van de oorlog. De Britse en Sovjet luchtmachten gebruikten de naam Tomahawk voor modellen gelijk aan de originele P-40, P-40B, en P-40C, en de naam Kittyhawk voor modellen gelijk aan de P-40D en alle latere varianten. Curtiss Hawk gevechtsvliegtuigen voorzagen de RAF van waardevolle versterkingen in het Midden-Oosten op een moment dat de Britse middelen overbelast waren.
English: Curtiss Kittyhawk IV at the RAF Museum, Hendon, London. The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is an American single-engined, single-seat, all-metal fighter-bomber that first flew in 1938. The Warhawk was used by most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in frontline service until the end of the war.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. Curtiss Hawk fighters provided the RAF with valuable reinforcements in the Middle East at a time when British resources were overstretched.
