Curtiss produced 13,783 P-40s in various configurations, known as the Warhawk, Kittyhawk,
and the Tomahawk. On 7 December 1941, a few P-40s managed to get into the air at
Pearl Harbor and joined in scoring the first American fighter kills on Japanese aircraft.
In the winter of 1941-1942 Hill AFB had the responsibility for the overhaul of the P-40.
Recovered from an Alaskan graveyard, the Museum's P-40N was given new life for the
Hill AFB Museum. This aircraft was delivered to the 11th Air Force at Elmendorf AFB
1 July 1943. It was flown by the 11th Fighter Squadron until 21 October 1944.
5,219 N models were built. Info from Hill Areospace Museum website.
