G'day, The Airframes had perhaps been built to fill French, Dutch, or Belgian Contracts. The RAF recieved lots of Curtis P-40s which not only featured instruments reading in Napoleonic Revolutionary Metric...; but also they were equipped with French Throttle "Controls" which operate BACKWARDS...., pull the Handle out for Full Power and push it in, to achieve Idle. Frog-Eating apparently significantly peturbs, and perverts, one's Worldview (?) ! Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
@@6thmichcav262 Celsius was also used on the Allison powered Models. The Instrumentation remained essentially the same, in order not to confuse the Allied Pilots. The Merlin P-40s also use inches of Mercury instead of lb/sq.ft.
At the end of the film, the instructor made a comment about the planes and pilots protecting democracy and the flag. Interesting that little tidbit was edit out in this version...

It's surprising (to me) that they used Celsius instead of Fahrenheit at this time in American aircraft.
G'day,

The RAF recieved lots of Curtis P-40s which not only featured instruments reading in Napoleonic Revolutionary Metric...; but also they were equipped with French Throttle "Controls" which operate BACKWARDS...., pull the Handle out for Full Power and push it in, to achieve Idle.

Having a Rolls Royce engine in this model probably didn’t hurt?

I'm remembering seeing C used on other American air cools engine instruments too
