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:

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

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!

Digging A Little Deeper...
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?
