1942. The P-40K improved on the earlier E model: six .50-calibre wing guns, a three-blade propeller and a liquid-cooled engine, on a type known for its ruggedness. In December 1942 one was stationed in New Guinea, flying defensive patrols. Our own top-view drawing, with no markings.
Front print reads: 1942 · EARLY-WAR FIGHTER, under a top-view drawing of the aircraft.
