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".
