The AVG was a group of American volunteer pilots who flew for the Chinese Nationalist government against the Japanese invasion during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The P-40E Warhawk was used extensively in the China-Burma-India theater, where its rugged design and strong armament made it well-suited for ground attack and air-to-air combat.
- Robert Neale flew many missions with the P-40E Warhawk in China, and he was known for his skill and bravery in battle. Despite the challenging conditions of the theater, the P-40E Warhawk proved to be a reliable and effective aircraft, and was highly valued by the AVG pilots.
