I've always been amazed at how so many people like those P40s. I remember doing a campaign years ago in New Guinea flying P40s.
Those darn things climbed like a rock, but that had the most incredible roll rate.
I read somewhere they put Merlins in P40s, which were the same as the ones in the P51-D. That might be a good combination, since the P40s were just lumbering louts. IMO
