During the development of the ejection seat at the Heinkel plants, extensive investigations were made on the compatibility of the accelerations occurring for the pilot.

Ok, I have a question about one of the pictures.
Post #64 shows a P-40 and a B-24.
Is it just me, or is that the oddest P-40 you've ever seen?
I think its mostly the oil cooler that's screwin' with my brain but what version is that?
I thought maybe it was a mis-ID'd Typhoon, but I compared a few pics and its not.
So what version of the P-40 would that be?

IMHO, there is nothing strange in the pic. Just the effect of taking a pic during a flight . At glance, I would say the P-40 is of the F version at least.

No air intake above engine, so either an F or L. The Merlin engine P-40s had a different profile than the Allison engine models.
