• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Curtiss P-40K was the P-40E with an upgraded engine. The increase in engine power greatly improved performance at low altitudes. The lack of an improved supercharger meant that high altitude performance remained unimpressive. The greater torque effect reduced directional stability which was eventually addressed by lengthening the tail on the K-10 and K-15 models. The older supercharger allowed much higher throttle settings at low altitude which made this the highest performance P-40 at low altitudes.

Paint schemes are included for USAAF units in the Aleutian Islands and in China.
Let me know what you think of this aeroplane.

Enjoy!
