Interesting! I didn't know that?
From what I've read the P-40's held the line until the modern fighters were available. At least with the Army Air Force?

...and while in floatplane mode, the Arado 196 was a nice looking aircraft.

As a kid I bought a model of HMS Iron Duke. Thought she looked awesome. And still think she got the look.

Fixed that for you [;)]
I don’t think I’ve seen the picture of the two of them before - it’s normally the shot of a B-25 taking off from Hornet that accompanies raid stories. Nice.
