Curtiss P-60

The Curtiss P-60 was a 1940s United States single-engine single-place low-wing monoplane fighter aircraft developed by the Curtiss-Wright company as a successor to their P-40. It went through a lengthy series of prototype versions eventually evolving into a design that bore little resemblance to the P-40. None of these versions reached production.
