About the aircraft – Curtiss P-40K Warhawk:

The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was an American fighter of the Second World War, powered by an inline Allison V-1710 engine. Although it was outperformed at high altitude by newer designs, its ruggedness, firepower and good low- and medium-altitude handling made it a valuable aircraft on many fronts. The P-40 gained its greatest fame in the colours of the "Flying Tigers" in China.

The P-40K version received a more powerful engine with a boost installation. Early examples had a short fuselage, which caused a tendency to swing on take-off — so some aircraft (the so-called short tail) were fitted with an enlarged vertical fin, while later ones received a lengthened fuselage. Warhawks of this version fought in North Africa, the Pacific and China.

Original specifications (P-40K Warhawk):

• Length: approx. 9.7 m
• Wingspan: approx. 11.4 m
• Crew: 1
• Powerplant: Allison V-1710 inline engine, approx. 1,325 hp
• Maximum speed: approx. 580 km/h
• Range: approx. 1,100 km
• Armament: 6 × 12.7 mm machine guns
