    A history of Australian aviation from 1914-1919 and much more.
    The P40 was the most widely used fighter by the RAAF in the Pacific in World War II. Initially Australian Kityhawks were camouflaged in Foilage Green, Dark Earth and Sky Blue. Due to the large numbers of P40's received this varied alot. Later in the war when Olive Drab and Neutral Grey P40's began arriving the RAAF put them into service without change.
