United States Army Air Corps - USaC - Curtiss P-40
United States Army Air Corps (USaC) - Curtiss P-40 (Model 81). The first production standard, delivered with the stars and stripes on both wings, unusually. As this aircraft is un-armed, it is possible that this is 40-326, a P-40 converted by Boeing into an un-armed photo-reconnaissance aircraft, retroactively given the designation P-40A. Date: circa 1942

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a United States Army Air Corps (USaC) Curtiss P-40 (Model 81) from circa 1942. The P-40 was the first production standard fighter aircraft for the US Army Air Corps, and this particular aircraft is distinguished by the stars and stripes emblazoned on both of its wings, an unusual feature for this model. The P-40, with its distinctive shark mouth nose art, was a formidable fighter during World War II. However, the aircraft in this image appears to be unarmed, leading some aviation historians to speculate that it may be 40-326, a P-40 converted by Boeing into an un-armed photo-reconnaissance aircraft. This theory is further supported by the retroactive designation of P-40A given to such converted aircraft. The P-40 was a versatile aircraft, and its use extended beyond the traditional fighter role. The conversion into a photo-reconnaissance aircraft allowed for valuable intelligence gathering, contributing significantly to the war effort. Despite being unarmed, this P-40 remains an essential piece of military aviation history. This photograph is a rare and intriguing glimpse into the US Army Air Corps' history, providing a unique perspective on the evolution of military aviation during World War II.
