I have never seen a P-40 with four blades.

Hales Corners era? Right behind the race track, only semi-paved race track in the world, or was.

I would love to know if it gave the P-40 any more speed or climb . Was it a P-51 prop cut down to size or somekind of Curtiss electrtic ?

This is the airplane later operated by Tom Camp in the 1970s -- he gradually restored it back to a more stock "E" configuration. By the time I first saw it about 1975 (coded TL-C at that time) it still had that wierd canopy configuration but had a regular 3-bladed prop. It got a proper -E canopy about 1976 or 1977.
