I've always had a soft spot for the venerable P-40 in all it's incarnations and recently stumbled upon this site and thought I'd share.. http://hawksnest.1hwy.com/home.html :typing:

Bookmarked. Thanks.

PSully, I don't think that Comrade Stalin ever publicly acknowledged the lend lease program to his minions, so therefore there are no Russian P-40s!

I found this info on that site under "Captive Planes":

Finland

P-40M KH-51 of LeLv 32 at Mensuvaara, August 1944. This ex-Soviet P-40 was the sole example of the type to fall into Finnish hands during the Continuation War.

Also:

The export equivalent of the P-40B was the Tomahawk IIA (Model H81-A2). They differed from the American version by having the wing guns replaced by four 0.303-inch Brownings. 110 were produced for the RAF. RAF serials were AH881/990. 23 of these planes were transferred to the USSR, and one (AH938) went to Canada as an instructional airframe.

His British and Commonwealth unit lists are severely lacking, it is very much a WIP to my eyes Sully. Maybe some of us should point him useful directions?
