Re: Quiz: Toma, Kitty, War........???

Ok fellas, I know it was an easy one but I sorta had a question b/c of two things.

1. The new 21st C. Pearl Harbor P-40 is titled the Tomahawk and it's a U.S. plane

2. In the Robert Scott book God is my Co-Pilot he refers to the planes the AVG and 23rd used as Kittyhawks and they are also U.S.

Is it that the P-40s came trough the commonwealth channels from the U.S. and thus the names. Still, if that's true, it doesn't totally clear it up.

Now I realize 21st could have a SNAFU but I would think Scott would know what the heck he's talking about.


It was only kind of a quiz. Were these names used interchangably by the various forces?
 

Leigh-Mallory and his big wings! Might as well stay on the ground for all the use they are!
