EDITORS COMMENTS
Curtiss-Wright Model 26A," was a significant development in American aviation during World War II. The P-43 Lancer was designed to operate at high altitudes, making it an essential addition to the arsenal of the American Volunteer Group (AVG) in China. The AVG, also known as the "Flying Tigers," was a group of American pilots who flew for the Chinese Nationalist Air Force against the Japanese during World War II, prior to the official U.S. entry into the conflict. The P-43 Lancers were delivered to the AVG in May 1942, and they quickly proved their worth in combat. The planes were equipped with powerful engines and heavy armament, making them formidable opponents in the skies. Despite being used in small numbers, the P-43 Lancers played a crucial role in the defense of China against the Japanese air force. This photograph captures the sleek lines and powerful presence of the P-43 Lancer as it soars through the sky. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the American aviation industry during a time of war. The P-43 Lancer is an important part of aviation history, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past." Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online.
