Re: Looking for good P-40 books

Not sure whether you're looking for reference books or experiences, but one of the Directors of the Smithsonian Air & Space Musuem is Don Lopez, a WWII Pacific theatre ace and he started out in P-40s. He wrote his experiences in "Into the Teeth of the Tiger", including an interesting first kill. He later moved on to P-51s. Amazon shows the book for about 12 US dollars.

He also wrote "Fighter Pilots Heaven", about his expereinces post WWII getting to test all types of fighter planes and weapon systems.
