Curtiss-Wright built the P-40 aircraft in the background as Model 87-A3 and delivered it to Canada as a Kittyhawk I in 1941. It served until 1946 in No. 111 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force. U.S. Air Force personnel at Andrews Air Force Base restored it in 1975 to represent a Warhawk fighter of the 75th Fighter Squadron, 23rd Fighter Group, 14th Air Force.

Famous WW2 Quote
"All that silly talk about the advance of science and such leaves me cold. Give me peace and a retarded science."Thomas Dodd, late 1945

Note that the tail-wheel on this aircraft is a solid rubber castor. These were installed on carrier-based aircraft since the pounding of a carrier “trap” often popped pneumatic rear tires.
