Summary

Description
English: Three Royal Canadian Air Force Curtiss Tomahawks of No. 403 Squadron RCAF based at Baginton, Warwickshire (UK), flying in 'vic' formation over clouds. In the foreground is a Mark I, AH878 'KH-G', accompanying two Mark IIAs, AH882 'KH-R' and AH896 'KH-H'. These were among the first Tomahawks to enter squadron service with the RAF, although 403 Squadron operated them for only a short time (29 sorties) in the Army Cooperation role before converting to Supermarine Spitfire Mark Is in May 1941.
