Help Keep the Flying Tigers’ Warhawk Flying
The CAF’s P-40 Warhawk is one of the most iconic fighters of World War II—its shark-toothed grin honoring Brig. Gen. David Lee “Tex” Hill and the legendary Flying Tigers who battled Japanese forces before America entered the war.
Today, this Texas-based Warhawk continues their legacy, inspiring thousands at airshows across the nation. But to stay in the air, she needs new radiators for her Allison V-1710 engine—vital to her safety and performance.
Your gift helps preserve not just an aircraft, but the courage and
determination of the heroes who flew it.
Donate now and help keep the roar of the Flying Tigers alive.
🎁 A generous donor has offered to match donations to the Warhawk for this campaign up to $15,000.

Project Info
Today, this Texas-based Warhawk is preparing for a significant upgrade—newly manufactured radiators for its Allison V-1710 engine. These will improve cooling performance on the ground and in the air, ensuring safe operation and extending the life of this historic power-plant. Additionally, the Sponsor Group is seeking newly built Exhaust stacks to replace the original 1940s metal that is becoming harder to repair.
