The '''P-40 Warhawk''' is a [[World War II]]-era fighter plane manufactured by Curtiss. This airplane was made famous from its use by the [[Flying Tigers]] in the Pacific theater during World War II, although it was used to some extent in all theaters. This single-pilot aircraft was powered by a single V-12 engine (an Allison V-12 engine on all models except for the P-40L, which used the Merlin V-12). The plane’s armaments consisted of varying ranges of 50 caliber guns, also dependent on model. A total of 13,737 P-40s were built.<ref>http://staff.jccc.net/droberts/p40/p40a.html</ref> | The '''P-40 Warhawk''' is a [[World War II]]-era fighter plane manufactured by Curtiss.
