P-40 Warhawk AirplaneDID YOU KNOW?
Because of the graphic design painted on
engine, the P-40 Warhawk came to be called the
"Flying Tiger." It was the first fighter plane
that could be mass produced when World War II
appeared certain. Ultimately over 13,700
P-40s were manufactured. Although they were
quickly surpassed by faster fighters, the
P-40 played a key role in the air war.
Probably the most memorable part of this plane
was its use by an American Volunteer Group
who were known as the "Flying Tigers" and
did battle against Japan in the skies over
Burma and China. This 17 1/2 inch by 15 1/2 inch hardwood framed

Force wings, three World War II Army Air Corps official
postage stamps (three cent stamp is 55 years odl)
and a maxicard picturing
a P-40 Warhawk.Our Price: $56.00
