Buffalo Corporation Curtiss Warhawk Wright
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the final moments of production for the iconic Curtiss-Wright P-40N Warhawk, serial number 44-47773, at the Corporation's Buffalo plants in 1944. The Curtiss-Wright Corporation, a leading American aerospace manufacturer, is renowned for its significant contributions to military aviation, particularly the P-40 Warhawk. This image marks the end of an era, as this particular Warhawk was the last one to roll off the assembly line at the Buffalo plants. The P-40N Warhawk, a variant of the original P-40 series, was an advanced version of the legendary fighter aircraft that saw extensive combat during World War II. Equipped with advanced features such as a more powerful engine and improved armament, the P-40N was a formidable addition to the Allied forces' arsenal. As the war raged on, the demand for military aircraft was at an all-time high. The Curtiss-Wright Corporation, under immense pressure to meet production quotas, worked tirelessly to produce these vital war machines. This photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the manufacturing process, with workers meticulously assembling the final components of the P-40N. The image also serves as a testament to the dedication and hard work of the men and women who played a crucial role in the production of these aircraft. The P-40N, 44-47773, would go on to serve in various theaters of the war, continuing the legacy of the iconic Warhawk. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the pivotal role the Curtiss-Wright Corporation played in the history of military aviation and the sacrifices made during wartime.
