Although
lacking
somewhat
in maneuverability and rate of
climb, the P-40's top speed of 352
m.p.h. coupled with its rugged
construction, armor plating and fast
diving speed, enabled it to hold
its own against most of the fighter
planes in existence at that time.
Names for the P-40B ranged
from the Curtiss "Hawk", in the
United
States,
"Tomahawk"
Great Britain, to the "Tiger Shark"
of the "Flying Tigers" in China.
The "Flying Tigers" of China were
formed into three squadrons,
1rst (Adam and Eve), the 2 nd (Panda
Bears) and the 3 rd (Hell's Angels).
They fought their first action on Dec.
20, 1941 and in the following six and a
half months compiled a record of 299
victories with a loss of only 50 planes,
eight pilots killed and four missing.
