Into the blue against them flew pilots of the United Nations, airborne on Curtiss P-40 wings. This is history! From the earliest days of WW II, these teams of plucky pilots and their Curtiss P-40's have swept the air in every theater of conflict. On occasion, "lone wolfing." Other times in squadrons.! Their total formed a mighty armada whose blazing guns have written an unparalleled saga of successful aerial combat. In battle-raked heavens throughout the world, these pilots have won undying glory, symbolized by distinguished military decorations. Honor the pilots!
