Been doing some research on P-40's Flyboy and I think this one would be a great one for the p40E
I'ts very well known, I've checked the authenticity on

A29-113 P-40E-1 41-36104 5/42 served with 77 Sqn; this was the usual aircraft of S/L R 'Dick' Cresswell when he was the CO of 77 Sqn from 4/42; it was coded 'U' (often depicted red, but during 1942 the RAAF was getting rid of any hint of red on its aircraft, this colour should be a pale blue) and had the three flags for Australia, UK and the US on the nose below the engine exhauts; on the night of the 23/11/42, S/L Cresswell in this a/c intercepted three Bettys over Darwin, downing T359, serial 5414 of the Tokao Ku over Koolpinyah, NT, the Betty fell onto the Herbert Station narrowly missing the Homestead, and a 77 Sqn barbecue being held there; crashed at Mildura, Vic 27/6/43 after the pilot bailed out due to an electrical fire in the cockpit.
When the P40N comes along there are some great choices for it also.
