A little 'housekeeping'... the aircraft I posted a head-on view of yesterday, was not a Messerschmitt ME262, as many suggested, but a Focke-Wulf Fw187 Falke.
Designed by Kurt Tank, it fitted in size between a Bf-109 and Bf-110, which meant it had no real role. Just 9 were built.

I do not know the artist of this illustration of an RAF Spitfire pilot making the crew of a Messerschmitt BF-110 rethink their career choices but it is well done.

1943 05 26 The Ruhr, Destruction over Dusseldorf - Graham Turner
A Messerschmitt Bf 110 night-fighter destroys three RAF bombers over Dusseldorf on 25/26th May 1943. As the 77 Squadron Halifax he was attacking explodes, the huge blast severs the tail of a nearby 15 Squadron Stirling and sends another from 7 Squadron down in flames.

Several of the Messerschmitt Bf 110s of Sonderkommando Junck (ex of 4./ZG 76) in Iraqi service. As can be seen, the Luftwaffe markings on the fuselage were quite untidily painted out so that Iraqi insignia could be placed there instead. These aircraft are sometimes incorrectly drawn in books as being sand-coloured on top, that was not the case as can be seen in this photo - they were instead in the standard Europe camouflage colours.

The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is an American single-engined, single-seat, all-metal fighter and ground-attack aircraft that first flew in 1938. The P-40 design was a modification of the previous Curtiss P-36 Hawk which reduced development time and enabled a rapid entry into production and operational service. The Warhawk was used by most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in frontline service until the end of the war. It was the third most-produced American fighter of World War II, after the P-51 and P-47; by November 1944, when production of the P-40 ceased, 13,738 had been built,[3] all at Curtiss-Wright Corporation's main production facilities in Buffalo, New York.
P-40 Warhawk was the name the United States Army Air Corps gave the plane, and after June 1941, the USAAF adopted the name for all models, making it the official name in the U.S. for all P-40s. The British Commonwealth and Soviet air forces used the name Tomahawk for models equivalent to the original P-40, P-40B, and P-40C, and the name Kittyhawk for models equivalent to the P-40D and all later variants.
P-40s first saw combat with the British Commonwealth squadrons of the Desert Air Force in the Middle East and North African campaigns, during June 1941.[4][5] No. 112 Squadron Royal Air Force, was among the first to operate Tomahawks in North Africa and the unit was the first Allied military aviation unit to feature the "shark mouth" logo,[6][7] copying similar markings on some Luftwaffe Messerschmitt Bf 110 twin-engine fighters.[6] [N 1]
The P-40's lack of a two-speed supercharger made it inferior to Luftwaffe fighters such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109 or the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in high-altitude combat and it was rarely used in operations in Northwest Europe. However, between 1941 and 1944, the P-40 played a critical role with Allied air forces in three major theaters: North Africa, the Southwest Pacific, and China. It also had a significant role in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Alaska and Italy. The P-40's performance at high altitudes was not as important in those theaters, where it served as an air superiority fighter, bomber escort and fighter-bomber. Although it gained a postwar reputation as a mediocre design, suitable only for close air support, more recent research including scrutiny of the records of individual Allied squadrons indicates that this was not the case: the P-40 performed surprisingly well as an air superiority fighter, at times suffering severe losses, but also inflicting a very heavy toll on enemy aircraft.[9] Based on war-time victory claims, over 200 Allied fighter pilots – from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, the US and the Soviet Union – became aces flying the P-40. These included at least 20 double aces,[10] mostly over North Africa, China, Burma and India, the South West Pacific and Eastern Europe. The P-40 offered the additional advantages of low cost and durability, which kept it in production as a ground-attack aircraft long after it was obsolescent as a fighter.
