Description
Photograph of the interior of the Curtiss-Wright Corporation airplane factory in Buffalo, NY, ca.1940. Several men stand around a Curtiss P-40 Warhawk plane under construction in the foreground, with one man seated at the cockpit. Several other planes stand behind the first, and another row can be seen at left. Rows of airplane parts can be seen in the background. Photoprint reads: "North American P-51A's or P-40's ?". Note: Originally, the photograph was captioned as, "Interior of the North American Aviation airplane factory, ca.1940" however, all the planes the photograph features are the P-40s, and all the P-40s ever produced were built at the Curtiss-Wright factory in Buffalo, New York.
