The Flying Tiger's shark mouthed P-40 is one of the most iconic aircraft of World War 2. Watch the film used to train P-40 pilots, produced by P-40 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 P-40 was the Army Air Corp's main front line fighter at the outbreak of the War. Not as agile as a Japanese Zero, the P-40 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 P-40F, which were powered by Packard built Merlins for better high altitude performance. Other P-40 versions were powered by Allison engines.P-40s supplied to Commonwealth countries were known as 'Kittyhawks."
