First combat use, by the RAF, (the aircraft was designed for the British not the USAAF) was in May 1942. They used an extant engine design... I wonder where they got that from... Uhm, no, they didn't. What North American did have were the wind tunnel data and design calculations for the Curtiss XP-46, Curtiss's idea for a P-40 successor, which didn't work so very well. What North American did do was start the rough designs of the NA-73 before the Brits came around looking for a second source of P-40s. -- Pete Stickney Failure is not an option It comes bundled with the system |
