Was It Really Successful? | Curtiss P-40 (Part 2)

Today we’re continuing our look at the long history of the Curtiss P-40. Last time we looked at the earlier models, and now we shall look at the later and more numerous variants of the P-40. We will also briefly cover its service history, and discuss why this “mediocre“ aircraft became so important in the Pacific theatre of WW2. Want to join the community?
