Kittyhawk I was the British designation of the Curtiss Warhawk P-40D single-seat fighter-bomber.
 Research Kittyhawk I
The Curtiss Warhawk P-40D was a fighter-bomber development of the P-40 fitted with a new engine which allowed the fuselage to be shortened by six inches. The synchronised fuselage machine-guns were abandoned and shackles under the fuselage fitted to carry a fuel tank or 300-500 lb bomb. Racks under the outer wings were fitted to carry six 20 lb bombs.
Research P-40D
The Curtiss Warhawk P-40E (Kittyhawk IA) was similar to the P-40D but had the armament increased to three machine-guns in each wing.
