A map of (roughly) the area around Hankow and Yochow would provide
a way to depict the fighting between the US 14th. Air Force and the Japanese Army Air Force during the 1944/45 Ichi-Go campaign. This was the last successful ground campaign prosecuted by the Japanese in WW2, and a great place to put the upcoming P40N to use.

Personally speaking, the P-40 could contend on an equal footing with all the types of Messerschmitts, almost to the end of 1943.
