Editorial Review from Product Description:

Flown by the American Volunteer Group in China known as the "Flying Tigers", the P-40 Warhawk earned a reputation for its toughness in combat. Facing odds of 6 to 1 in most combat situations, AVG pilots relied on their skill, daring and their aircraft's superior diving speed to achieve victory. By war's end the Tigers had destroyed more than 1200 Japanese planes, with another 700 listed as probables. Their own losses came to 573 aircraft. Originally printed by the U.S. Army Air Force for pilots transitioning to the P-40, this flight manual contains detailed information about one of history's great planes. Originally classified as "restricted", the manual was declassified long ago and is here reprinted in book form. Some color images appear in black and white, and some pages have been slightly reformatted. Care has been taken however to preserve the integrity of the text.

Really, really cool original training manual for P-40 Warhawk, 2006-07-01
This is one terrific gift! I've been a modeler for a long, long time and I always love to have detailed references for my kits. This is one special book in that regard, as it has cockpit views of the plane and what's really neat, you can read all about the performance of the Warhawk and how you were supposed to fly it. It's absolutely fascinating to flip thru this!! I've been a fan of this plane since I was a kid and "Baa Baa Blacksheep" was a show on television. I was simply glued to the screen! Not to mention the John Wayne "Flying Tigers" film which was filled with P-40s. What a unique plane with such a unique history -- and this book really does put you in the pilot's seat. It's the exact manual the men who flew it used to acquaint themselves with this warbird! I highly recommend it.
