It began as a modified version of the P-36 Hawk, an aircraft that Curtiss had previously built. It was equipped with a single engine (normally an Allison V-1710 V-12), two .50 in (12.7 mm) machine guns in the nose, and two .303 Browning machine guns on each wing. Later versions, however, would have three .50 in (12.7 mm) guns in each wing. The P-40 was produced until November 1944, and was used in the air forces of 28 nations, including Great Britain.

  • The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was an American single-engined, single-seat, all-metal fighter and ground-attack aircraft that first flew in 1938. The P-40 design was a modification of the previous Curtiss P-36 Hawk which reduced development time and enabled a rapid entry into production and operational service. The Warhawk was used by most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in frontline service until the end of the war. It was the third most-produced American fighter, after the P-51 and P-47; by November 1944, when production of the P-40 ceased, 13,738 had been built, all at Curtiss-Wright Corporation's main production facilities at Buffalo, New York.
