P-40 Tomahawk and Kittyhawk in RAF Service - Europe and North Africa — the twenty-fourth volume of the Wingleader Photo Archive series on the Curtiss P-40 in British and Allied service.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a photographic publication for modelers and aviation historians, not a kit. The twenty-fourth volume of the numbered Photo Archive series of the British publisher Wingleader was written by Neil Robinson and, according to the box, keeps to two areas: Europe and North Africa.
The Curtiss P-40 appeared in British service under two names. The early versions with the Allison engine and machine guns in the nose were called the Tomahawk, the later and more heavily armed ones the Kittyhawk; it was a land-based fighter and did not fly from the decks of aircraft carriers. Over Britain the Tomahawks did not make their mark at high altitude and the role of tactical reconnaissance fell to them, but in North Africa they reached the front line and No. 112 Squadron gave them the famous shark mouth on the radiator. The Kittyhawks then formed the core of the Allied tactical air force over Egypt, Libya and Tunisia, where they did mainly the work of a fighter-bomber: bombs, low-level attacks on columns and airfields, and combats with Messerschmitt Bf 109s.
For modelers who build the Tomahawk or the Kittyhawk in British or Allied form and want to check the differences between the versions, the desert camouflage and the markings. It will appeal to readers interested in the war in North Africa as well.
