About the Curtiss P-40

The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is a rugged, Allison-engined WWII fighter — instantly recognised by its shark-mouth nose art and famous from the Flying Tigers. Tough and characterful, it is one of the more attainable genuine WWII fighter warbirds, though still a serious, high-cost machine demanding warbird-class training, support and budget.

Buying a Used Curtiss P-40

When buying a Curtiss P-40, the biggest value drivers are engine time since overhaul, maintenance-record completeness, damage history and avionics.

What to check before buying

  • Avionics — a modern glass panel vs legacy steam gauges materially changes price.
