Urrrrm well my understanding of the matter is that the Americans called all of their P-40's 'Warhawks', the RAF called the P-40 B and C models the 'Tomahawk' and the D E and possibly the F models, though I'm not sure if we used 'em, 'Kittyhawks'. The later models, L, M and N's were referred to as 'Warhawks' but the RAF didn't use anywhere near as many of these as they did the early models if any N's. I'm no Hawk expert but dearly love the earlier models, especially the B's and C's, such a shame that TFC sold theirs :(
