>Как Вы определили, что Томагавк в тот момент - ИБ? Есть какие-то "половые признаки"?
Телеканал "Дискавери" сказал :)
Eсли серьезно - вопрос боле чем уместный. Они начинали на P-40B (которые - не ИБ), а закончили на P-40E (которые - ИБ):
>The American Volunteer Group assembled in Burma in July 1941. However, before they could move to China, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and invaded Burma. Soon nicknamed the Flying Tigers, the AVG got its first combat experience during the defence of Burma. Their Tomahawks were the best allied fighter in Burma – the RAF was using the Brewster Buffalo. In one raid on Rangoon the AVG claimed 35 victories. Despite the best efforts of the AVG and the RAF, the Japanese captured Rangoon on 9 March. The AVG retreated north to China. In May and June 1942 the AVG operated from China. By now the Tomahawk was being replaced by the more modern P-40E Warhawk. The AVG disbanded in July 1942, when the volunteer contracts expired, and the USAAF took over.
