Squadron Signal 026 Curtiss P-40 in action, Ernest R. McDowell.
This is a good guide to the development of the P-40, a fighter than went through a more than usually complicated series of versions in US and British service. This book works through the main versions in US service, from the first development of the P-40 as an improved P-36 to its final production variants. [ see more]
P-40 Warhawk Part 1 – Y1P-36 Through P-40C, Bert Kinzey. Once you get past the introduction (which rather unfairly compares the P-40 to aircraft produced several years later), this book turns into a well illustrated, detailed guide to the technical development and production run of the P-36 and P-40 fighters, complete with the dates at which the different variants of the aircraft were produced.
