The Flying Tiger's shark mouthed P40 is one of the most iconic aircraft of World War 2. Watch the film used to train P40 pilots, produced by P40 manufacturer Curtiss Wright, in rare World War 2 color in this new HD restoration. Claire Chenault's Flying Tiger's deadly weapon in China, the P40 was the Army Air Corp's main front line fighter at the outbreak of the War. Not as agile as a Japanese Zero, the P40 made up for that with speed, especially in a dive, and firepower. This rugged plane served the Allies around the world , from the deserts of North Africa to the jungles of SE Asia.
The aircraft featured in this film is a P40F, which were powered by Packard built Merlins for better high altitude performance. Other P40 versions were powered by Allison engines.P40s supplied to Commonwealth countries were known as 'Kittyhawks."
