Although the Curtiss P-40 was one of the most recognized World War II fighter aircraft, it was not the fastest, most maneuverable or best armed yet it was used thoughout the war.  It was, as a matter of reference, one of the sturdiest fighters produced during the war and if flown by a seasoned pilot could give a very good accounting for itself in any aerial dog fight with opposing enemy fighter aircraft.  The book, Curtis P-40 In Action (Number 26) features the developmental history and unique capabilities of the P-40.  This finely detailed and well-illustrated book will, in typical Squadron fashion, acquaint you from every angle with this aircraft.  This book will provide aviation historians and modellers an in depth developmental history, aircraft color profiles and many black and white photographs that will be quite informative.  This book is 58 pages and is in very good condition.  The author is Ernest R. McDowell with Don Greer (illustrator).  Edition published in 1984.
