1940 - 2020.PDF
JULY IS, 1940 POTENTIAL SERVICE EQUIPMENT On this page are illus- trated three types of American fighter which may conceiv- ably be seen in this country before very long. At the top of the page is the Curtiss P-40 with an Allison vee-twelve liquid- cooled engine. The radial - engined fighter seen from above is the Brewster, with Wright Cyclone. Four guns are carried. Finally there is the twin-engined Grum- man Skyrocket for which is claimed an extremely high rate of climb. It appears that the fuselage has deliberately been kept short in the nose to permit the close grouping of the engines and airscrews. Armament is carried in the nose of the fuselage.
