Flown by the American Volunteer Group in China known as the "Flying
Tigers," the P-40 Warhawk earned a reputation for its toughness in
combat. Facing odds of 6 to 1 in most combat situations, AVG pilots
relied on their skill, daring and their aircraft's superior diving
speed to achieve victory. By war's end the Tigers had destroyed
more than 1200 Japanese planes, with another 700 listed as
probables. Their own losses came to 573 aircraft. Originally
printed by the U.S. Army Air Force for pilots transitioning to the
P-40, this flight manual contains detailed information about one of
history's great planes. Originally classified as "restricted," the
manual was declassified long ago and is here reprinted in book
form. Some color images appear in black and white, and some pages
have been slightly reformatted. Care has been taken however to
preserve the integrity of the text.
