Are these the same plane, or are they different?
It seems like they had slight variations in armament, but was there also a difference in performance?
The Hawk 81A-2 is usually whats referred to in reference to the P-40s supplied to the AVG in China/Burma 1941.
The information i've been able to find says they were like P-40Cs but performed more like Bs, but i'm wondering what the distinction is because the same plane was shipped to Britain and dubbed the Tomahawk MkIIa.
I figured i would check here to see what this crowd has to say.
thanks
Bill
