The photo, taken at eye level, depicts the famous Curtiss P-40 fighter which was flown by the American Volunteer Group (AVG) in China during World War II.   The view is of the front left quarter of the airplane which is parked in front of a hangar. The air group, known as the Flying Tigers,  was made up of volunteer American pilots who flew for China to fight against the invading Imperial Army of Japan.  The close up image features deep details of the fighter painted in rich camouflage colors of forest green and medium brown.  The air group, and aircraft, became famous for its menacing shark teeth paint scheme.  The Flying Tigers have become an iconic symbol of WWII.  The photo was shot at Paine Field, WA.
