The Curtiss P-40E Warhawk is an American single-engined, single-seat, all-metal fighter-bomber that first flew in 1938.

Our P-40 Warhawk, an iconic symbol of courage and resilience, embarked on its illustrious journey from the World War II production lines, equipped with the powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin 70 engine. Manufactured by Curtiss-Wright, this model H81 A-3 was among 193 P-40Cs built between March and May 1941 for the US Army Air Corps, bearing the serial number 41-13390.

Initially completed in Olive Drab and Neutral Gray, the aircraft was marked with the pre-war star and meatball insignia. In June 1941, it was allocated to the British as part of their Tomahawk IIB order, later transferred to the Soviet Union under the Defense Aid Program.

In 1993, our P-40 Warhawk was located through satellite data and recovered from a Russian lake near Murmashi, where it had crash-landed during WWII. Despite suffering combat damage, the P-40C remained remarkably intact, allowing for a detailed restoration process by The Fighter Collection in the UK.

Today, this historic aircraft has a new home at Antwerp International Airport, where it joins the prestigious collection of Flying Legends. Our P-40 Warhawk not only represents a pivotal era in aviation history but also stands as a testament to the bravery and determination of those who flew it. Needless to say this beauty effortlessly fits in with our prestigious line-up of iconic aircraft.
