Curtiss P-40  
 The P-40, developed from the P-36, was America's foremost fighter in service when WWII began. P-40s engaged Japanese aircraft during the attack on Pearl Harbor and the invasion of the Philipines in December 1941. They also were flown in China early in 1942 by the famed Flying Tigers and in North Africa in 1943 by the first AAF all-black unit, the 99th Fighter Squadron.
The P-40 served in numerous combat areas--the Aleutian Islands, Italy, the Middle East, the Far East, the Southwest Pacific and some were sent to Russia. Though often outclassed by its adversaries in speed, maneuverability and rate of climb, the P-40 earned a reputation in battle for extreme ruggedness. At the end of the P-40's brilliant career, more than 14,000 had been produced for service in the air forces of 28 nations, of which 2,320 were of the "E" series.

cus 20 X $50,000=A bigun

Thats conservative dollar amount though, Someone once said it cost about 500k per AW plane to produce and add to the plane set...
 And we just had to have the Stuka and you know how many of those you see flying around! "Zilch"
 Most of us would like to see a few removed :)

whichever had a good engine then, unless it's twice as heavy or doesn't have the big hub cannon.

Yup.  Time for more chlorine in the gene pool.
