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.
