The P-40E, with a shortened nose, shortened landing gear, and armed with six 0.5-in (12.7mm) wing machine guns, was used extensively as a low-altitude close-support fighter. Numerous units were exported to the Allied air forces, among which 1,500 units served the FAR as P-40E Kittyhawk Mk. 1A. The British deployed the Kittyhawk in Northern Africa against the German Luftwaffe.
