Although the Curtiss P-40F was not the best fighter plane of its era, it was among the most ubiquitous and in large-scale production at a critical period in WWII when fighter planes were needed in large numbers.

The P-40F and later versions of the aircraft were known by the name “Warhawk” in US service. In 1941, one hundred and fifty P-40F’s were supplied to the RAF under Lend-Lease. The RAF assigned them the name “Kittyhawk II”.

The P-40F played a critical role with Allied air forces as an air superiority fighter, bomber escort and fighter-bomber in North Africa, the Southwest Pacific, and China between 1941 and 1944. Its low-cost advantage kept it in production as a ground-attack aircraft long after it was obsolete as a fighter.

The P-40F has been faithfully recreated for Microsoft Flight Simulator with the following features: Fully modelled interior and exterior with interactive 3D cockpit 4K PBR textures Authentic recorded real-world sounds Several liveries representing real-world aircraft CFD Flight Model Removeable cowling with detailed modelled engine Civilian variant with openable storage areas in the wings Fully featured EFB with moving map, Stopwatches, METAR search & Maintenance mode Maintenance mode with Persistence Lite keeping track of your aircraft wear & tear and replacing parts
