Although
many notable fighter designs came out of WWII, the plane that shouldered
much of the fighting during the early months of the war was the Curtiss
P-40. It was the P-40 that inflicted damage on the attacking Japanese
at Pearl Harbor, and the famous Flying Tigers used the P-40 to stop
Japanese aggression in China before the USA was drawn into the conflict.
Black Hawk Models P-40 is decorated as a salute to the red-tailed
devils of the 99th Fighter Squadron - the famous Tuskegee Airmen. This
all African-American squadron gained fame for their courage and tenacity
and were the only squadron that never lost a bomber when they were
flying escort. This great replica will put a bit of avaition history
in your flying circle.
