P-40 evaluation should also include P-40L which was nearly identical to the P-40F, it just had some of the field stripping done in the factory. The RAF designated P-40F/L as Kittyhawk II and IIa respectively.
So which of the two famous aircraft was most useful to the war effort?

Why did this adaptation fail while the FW190D succeeded? My understanding was the 'kangaroo pouch' turbosupercharger had too many problems so they dropped it and moved on to the D and Ta-152. But why didn't they go for a supercharger like they did with the 190D? Also why didn't they go for a...

Having invested in the Airfix 1/24 Hawker Typhoon and not knowing if it's mention in my Typhoon/Tempest books or in that How to Build Airfix 1/24 Hawker Typhoon book, one thing that it seems to be divided opinions on, is the colour on the Napier Sabre engine...black or green and then, if green...
A former member of this site PM'd me with some comments about the La-7 thread.
He was of the opinion that some of the Hawker products were better low down performers than the La-7, though I pointed out that they had 500hp+ more power.

It has done a great job in Afghanistan and Libya.
I'd...
