(Synopsis:)
Curtiss P-40F Warhawk
Aircraft awaiting delivery shot at the Curtiss Wright factory of Buffalo (New York).
Most of the movie display scale 1:1 models with outsized machine guns and air cope over the engine. Two of them have electric engine in order to move the propeller.
Another two other have OX-5 engine allowing them to be driven up until 90 km/h. They are easily identifiable by their outsized tailwheel.
Some footage of the real Curtiss P-40B/C of the Flying Tigers are used in background of actors.
