About
The P‑40E‑1 features the more powerful Allison V‑1710‑39 engine, moving from four to six .50 cal guns in the wings. Some versions carried light bomb racks under the wings. It was heavily used in combat across North Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific, valued for its rugged airframe and solid dive performance.
