    Curtiss P-40B 41-5304 "53" (last B model produced) of the USAAC ca. mid-'41. This a/c is noted as having served w/ the 19th PS 18th PG at Wheeler Field on 7 Dec 41, so it was probably one of the 83 a/c destroyed during the two waves of attacking Japanese warplanes by 0945 that morning. (Note: The nickname "Warhawk" was first used by Curtiss with production of the P-40F, so earlier use on the P-40B's thru E's were assigned retroactively. "Tomahawk" & "Kitttyhawk" were names used by the RAF / RAAF.)

    A Hawk 81-A2 (export version of the P-40C) of the American Volunteer Group - before they became known as the "Flying Tigers." Probably a 2nd Pursuit Squadron ship, and another takeoff or landing accident. The "Tigers" tore up exponentially more ships in operational accidents than they lost in combat...
