	P-40B Tiger Shark 1/48 Kit Plastic Aviation Model Kits. The P-40 blazed across the skies of China in the hands of the Flying Tigers, and this beauty captures all the excitement! From the shark-mouthed nose to the pilot figure, this model has "authentic" written all over it. Features Flying Tiger markings with a detailed cockpit. Skill level 2. .....#0009097 $12.95 The P-40 Warhawk is one of the best-known U.S. fighters of World War II. But despite its fame, the P-40 was not one of the company's best performers. Outclassed in virtually every way by other aircraft of its time, it was usually the loser when pitted against a superior foe in air-to-air combat. Slow, lacking in maneuverability, and not well armed, it was nearly a decade behind the competition when it became the most important U.S. fighter during the early stages of the war. Model and a Movie Build one of these fine models while you're watching a fantastic P-40 Movie. Fei Hu: The Story of the Flying Tigers VHS Video Description During the summer of 1941, 300 young American men and women secretly trained in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Within weeks of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the daring exploits of the American Volunteer Group (AVG) captured the imagination of the world. The Chinese called them Fei Hu, for the shark's teeth painted on their planes. The world knew them as the legendary Flying Tigers. Through the use of rare film footage Fei Hu: The Story of the Flying Tigers tells the story of a small group of men and women who fought against overwhelming odds and lifted the spirits of both the American and Chinese people during the darkest days of World War Two. Fei Hu - The Story of the Flying Tigers was broadcast on PBS as a one-hour film on February 22, 1999. It was selected to be part of PBS's programming initiative, History's Best on PBS, which highlights the best history programming that PBS has to offer. Now the 90-minute Director's Cut of Fei Hu: The Story of the Flying Tigers is available for sale on videocassette. J.R. "Dick" Rossi, President, Flying Tigers Association The finest telling of the Flying Tigers' story...an accurate and compelling account. List Price: $29.95 plus Used VHS Videos at a lower price.
