The Pacific Profiles series, an ongoing endeavor, presents the most comprehensive and accurate WWII profiles of aircraft that served throughout Australia, New Guinea, and the South Pacific. This Volume 11 delves into the P-40 Warhawk series, which played a pivotal role in the skies over these regions. The P-40 Warhawk series was utilized by a dozen USAAF Fifth and Thirteenth Air Force fighter and reconnaissance squadrons, service units, combat replacement pools, and various other miscellaneous units.
Most profiles in this volume are presented for the first time, accompanied by detailed markings derivations, including squadron heraldry and codes. The frequent airframe reassignments between units led to a wide range of diverse and often-changing unit markings and nose art. Until now, there has been a scarcity of material about certain units, particularly those in the Thirteenth Air Force. This volume also aims to rectify past mistakes that continue to be perpetuated, particularly those related to the early Australian theater.
A wealth of primary reference material is cited, encompassing official Australian assignment data, squadron records, color slides, movies, maintenance logs, diaries, wreck site inspections, and factory specifications. A brief history of each unit and the rationale behind their unit markings accompanies the text. The author, renowned for his expertise in the Pacific air war, has brought forth a remarkable illustration of USAAF Pacific P-40s and their vibrant artwork, showcasing unparalleled accuracy and detail.
