About This File

FS2004/FSX Curtiss P-40M And P-40N. The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was undoubtedly one of the most controversial fighters to serve in quantity during the Second World War. The P40M was a P40E with a more powerful Allison engine, lengthened fuselage and minor other improvements. The P40N, was the final production model. The P-40N featured a stretched rear fuselage to counter the torque of the larger, late-war Allison engine, and the rear deck of the cockpit behind the pilot was cut down at a moderate slant to improve rearward visibility. A great deal of work was also done to try and eliminate excess weight to improve the Warhawk's mediocre speed. Early N production blocks dropped a .50 inch (12.7 mm) gun from each wing, bringing the total back to four; later production blocks reintroduced it after complaints from units in the field. Gmax model by A.F. Scrub.

This depicts the aircraft flown by my father (Flying Officer Bob Hunter) whilst serving in 76 Squadron RAAF, in the second half of 1944, from Noemfoor, near Biak in (now) Indonesia, then Dutch New Guinea. The SV-G and nose art are as per personal photos held by our family. Thanks to Daniel who originally produced this years ago for CFS2, and it seems it's been since converted for FS-X. I've only just rediscovered this for FS-X after many years. Sincere and heartfelt thanks to everyone concerned....
