And (according to an American mechanic) the P-40 was the easiest plane to build.
The probably played a part in it as well. The P-40 was really a 'no-frills' kind of fighter and I imagine it could be turned out pretty quickly.
Thanks all. As for "no-frills" I can see what you mean. The P-51 had a lot of extras, that and pilots would not have to reequip.
Seaplanes Are so nice

Nice and easy for you in 1940, until it was the BoB. The Luftwaffe got shown up then.
"When you go home tomorrow, don't expect anyone to know what you have been through. Even if they did know, most people probably wouldn't care anyway. Some of you may get the medals you deserve, many more of you will not. But remember this, all of you are now members of the front-line club, and that is the most exclusive club in the world." - Lt. Col. Matthew Maer CO 1st Battalion, the Princess of Wale's Royal Regiment. Camp Abu Naji, Oct. 2004
To those in that club.
That's why I chose the 475th FG. Losing 3 planes was a bad day for them. A very impressive group with a kill/loss ratio that occassionally approached 20:1.

C-87 or C-47, wit 10th army over the Hump. So I can paint camels on the plane next to a nice picture of a pritty girl
Found a pic of a B-24 with lots of camels (compleated hump missions) on the nose before the plane lost to that very crazy and demanding mission profile.

I had a relative lost flying a C-47 over a Hump. That was very dangerous flying.
Yes it was...
i know little about it, why was it so dangerous??

Flying over the Himalayas was no easy feat... Altitude was a big problem...
this may make me sound ignorant, but surely they would see a rather large mountain??

As I said in a previous post :
11. A number of air crewman died of farts (ascending to 20,000 ft. in an unpressurized aircraft causes intestinal gas to expand 300%).
and that's what killed everyone??
