Curtiss P-40N Warhawk at the Evergreen Aviation Museum

Introduced in 1938, the P-40 Warhawk was America’s primary fighter when the U.S. entered World War II. P-40s were responsible for the first U.S. victories of WWII, when the few P-40s launched during the attack on Pearl Harbor managed to down several Japanese attackers. P-40s fought off the Japanese in the Pacific and were used by the Allies against Germany in Europe. This P-40 is in flying condition.
