Guys, not every Warhawk with a shark mouth and Chinese insignia was a Flying Tiger's plane. The AVG used P-40B (Tomahawk IIB) and P-40E and was disbanded on 4 July 1942. This is a P-40N-5. P-40N models were introduced for the first time in 1943. IMHO this is a Chinese a/c or belongs to one of the composite American-Chinese group.

If you look at two of the photos above the main photo, the captions say, "1940s ORIGINAL PHOTO CHINA FLYING TIGER AIR FORCE AVG PLANE" as well. These are also a P-40N and was a commemorative aircraft with markings of all the countries that operated the P-40

That's exactly my point: these ARE NOT AVG planes. It's wrong to call all P-40s in China "Flying Tigers".
