Curtiss P-40E Warhawk

Photographer’s remark

The airplane on display, a "Kittyhawk" (the export version of the P-40E built for the RAF), is painted as the P-40E flown in combat by Bruce Holloway, a pilot in both the Flying Tigers and its successor AAF unit, the 23d Fighter Group. During his tour in China, Colonel Holloway, who retired as a four star General in 1972 while the Commander of the Strategic Air Command (SAC), had a total of 13 Japanese planes to his credit.
