svenfromsweden Posted July 18, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 18, 2015 I share with you some pictures of fighters Curtiss P-40 operating aboard aircraft carriers or on the flight deck. Some questions for aviation and history enthusiasts of WW2. There was a naval version of the P-40? Which countries have used during the war and which Operating Theatres?

pararaftanr2 Posted July 18, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 18, 2015 Sven, As I'm sure you already know, these are AAF P-40s being transported to North Africa in the same way that Spitfires were supplied to Malta. No problem taking off from a carrier, but not fitted with arresting gear and never intended to land back aboard. Is that your web site?

MattS Posted July 18, 2015 Share #3 Posted July 18, 2015 Great photos! But yes, that was a one-way flight, they couldn't land on a carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
