Together they continue to look at the history of the Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk and Warhawk fighter series in Royal New Zealand Air Force service, with such topics as more interesting incidents, books, collisions in the air and on the ground, weapons they dropped, fighter and bombing tactics, individual aircraft names, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>David and Dave also answer more questions that came in from listeners. And they look at surviving examples of the P-40, plus much more. As usual with any conversation with David Duxbury, this is packed with gems of info and snippets that most people will never have heard before, so it is well worth a listen for any fan of the Kittyhawk or Warhawk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.redcat.co.nz\/Biplane_Flights_Store.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Air To Air \u2013 by Chris Rudge<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ImageAirtoAir.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4053 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ImageAirtoAir-206x300.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ImageAirtoAir-206x300.jpg 206w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ImageAirtoAir-103x150.jpg 103w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ImageAirtoAir.jpg 274w\" alt=\"\" width=\"206\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Too Young To Die \u2013 by Bryan Cox<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Kittyhawks And Coconuts \u2013 by Keith Mulligan<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0The Blue Arena \u2013 by Bob Spurdle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Tiger Moths And Butterflies \u2013 by Peter Norman<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Wings Over The Pacific \u2013 by Alex Horn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0RNZAF: The First Decade \u2013 by Charles Darby<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0RNZAF: A Short History \u2013 by Geoffrey Bentley<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Portrait of an Air Force \u2013\u00a0\u2013 by Geoffrey Bentley and Maurice Conly<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quick Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.adf-serials.com.au\/nz-serials\/nzkittyhawk.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The RNZAF Curtiss P-40\u2019s on adf.serials<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Curtiss_P-40_Warhawk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk on Wikipedia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/nzetc.victoria.ac.nz\/tm\/scholarly\/tei-WH2AirF.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Royal New Zealand Air Force by S\/Ldr J.M.S.
