The Curtiss Hawk 81-A2 was the export version of the early P-40 series, broadly equivalent to the Tomahawk IIB, and became the iconic mount of the American Volunteer Group, the "Flying Tigers," who flew for the Chinese Air Force against Japanese forces over China and Burma in 1941 and 1942. Famous for their shark-mouth nose art, these aircraft were flown by pilots such as Robert Neale, Robert T. Smith, and Gregory "Pappy" Boyington.
