Not the P-40. Here's a clue which may give it away, at least to people who have seen the movie. But it could fool people who saw a different picture.

Looking for the name of an airplane.

1. This warbird was in service for more than 30 years.

2. Although not necessarily with the country of origin.

3. It was, after all, utilized by more than ten countries.

4. The main goal of its design was modest. It was meant to be about as good as a very well-known fighter.

5. Although the service for which it was intended accepted it, it was plagued by production difficulties, problems with its engine, and performance drawbacks. The county in which it was produced took it out of front-line service about four years after it became operational.

6. Some of them had a major role in a motion picture.

7. In that movie, they were disguised as another, and very well-known, fighter.
