A lot of P-40B's were captured by the Japanese in the beginning of the war, it may have been slower than the Zero, but even they recognized a good aircraft when they saw it.

They also used them for their version of aggressor training, so I've heard. They did get a lot of valuable information and tactics from them, much like for us with the Attu Zero.

I haven't had time to comment on individual aircraft, but by gum this is an excellent thread; what with the Neptune and one of my favourite fighters the Super Tiger (to name just two). keep up the good work chaps
