The P-40 D/ E Warhawk were the first versions of the famous fighter to be equipped with a new Allison F engine.
The D and E versions differed only very slightly in terms of armament; the D carried only four machine guns in the wing, while the E had six.
Apart from the USAAF, the second largest customer for the type was the British RAF, which urgently needed a suitable fighter aircraft.
Due to the poor altitude characteristics of the Allison engines, which lacked superchargers, the RAF was unable to use the type in European airspace.
Instead, they were used over Africa, and the P-40 D/E became known as the Kittyhawk Mk.I and Mk.IA.
