I share with you some pictures of fighters Curtiss P-40 operating aboard aircraft carriers or on the flight deck. Some questions for aviation and history enthusiasts of WW2. There was a naval version of the P-40? Which countries have used during the war and which Operating Theatres? To view photos visit the link below:

Nah - they are US Army planes, photographed in transit, (just as the Mustangs were, as shown in an earlier thread..

The USN did test the USAAF birds, but the P-40 was never gonna make
the cut as a carrier capable machine.. in competition with purpose built Grummans & the like..

The USN did order a special tail-dragger variant of the Allison V12 powered Bell P-39 for test, but did not think it worth proceeding with production-wise, either..
Be Modest In Thyself..
