Did P-40s have rear view mirrors?

[research123]

Does anyone have a photo of a P-40 with a rear view mirror attached? I've seen photos of P-51s with rear view mirrors, but not P-40s.

Yes
but they were small and skewed to one side of the canopy centre-line, in order to see around the vertical tail surface. Bit difficult to post a pic up as I've only got MS Paint now but bear with me

He is the only monkey in the Pacific with 2 kills and a drinking problem.
