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

I believe the AVG was supplied with export (Foreign Military Sales) aircraft, which would therefore be Kittyhawks.

The AVG was supplied with planes diverted from the consignment meant for the RAF. 100 planes in total although not all of them made it there.

NB, Parsig9, Bert Kinzey did a couple of nice books giving lots of details about the various marks of P40s. Published by Squadron/signals Publications of Crowley Carrolton, Texas. A kind member of the forum put me onto those and I picked them up from the US ebay.
 

God Bless America.
