After a 22-year stay at the San Diego Air and Space Museum, NX40FT, the “Flying Tiger” Curtiss P-40, is on display at the Pacific Aviation Museum on Ford Island in Pearl Harbor.
The airplane, a P-40E, was acquired by the Flying Tiger Line in the early 1980s as a memorial to the cargo airline’s founder, Flying Tiger ace Robert W. Prescott and the American Volunteer Group (AVG) in China. Under the command of Claire Chennault, the AVG – more commonly known as the Flying Tigers – racked up a never-since-equaled air combat record in less than a year, before being disbanded in 1942.
