That was Donald S. Lopez's P-40 in China. P-51 caught the nose on takeoff. He retired as curator of the Air and Space museum.

On some of the two-seat P-40's, what is sticking out from the canopy in front of the rear cockpit? It appears to be designed to cause maximum drag.

I believe it is some kind of mirror set up for the instructor to monitor the student and his actions in the front hole.

If the moderator would permit the posting to remain here for a few days for maximum exposure, please? Trying to promote the sale of the book and somehow help the authors.

Guys, I would like to point you out to this book, on the P-40 in service with the Brazilian Air Force.

New Book: Curtiss P-40 in Brazil
Curtiss P-40 No Brasil
By Leandro Casella and Rudnei Dias Da Cunha

“Curtiss P-40 in Brazil” tells the history of this famed U.S. fighter in the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). Used between 1942 and 1954, the P-40 "Warhawk" was the first aircraft to serve in the FAB able to carry out fighter and air defense missions in Brazil during World War II. The P-40 was instrumental in establishing the structure of the FAB Fighter Aviation. At the end of the conflict, all P-40s were concentrated in Canoas, becoming synonymous with the 1st/14th Aviation Group - “Pampa Squadron”, the unit which had the privilege of using the Warhawks for a decade until their retirement, 60 years ago.
