About the aircraft – Curtiss P-40 Warhawk:

The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is an American World War II fighter powered by an inline Allison engine. The P-40K, built in 1942, received the more powerful Allison V-1710-73 and a strengthened structure; some aircraft had a lengthened fuselage for better directional stability.

The P-40 became famous in the colours of the 'Flying Tigers' (AVG) in China and fought on many fronts – from the Pacific to North Africa and the Eastern Front. Though outclassed at high altitude, it was rugged and effective at low and medium levels.
