I'm more curious about the apparent delay in getting the P40N, even though we are getting, after several years, the New Guinea/New Britain map, where this type played a major role.
The He 112 is interesting, but it was a bit part player, whereas the P40N was the most produced version of the P40 and was widely used in the air campaign in the South West Pacific.

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