This design is based on the P-40 (Curtiss Hawk H81-A-2) “White #5” flown by Charles R. Bond, Jr. whilst serving with the American Volunteer Group ‘Flying Tigers’ in Burma and China during World War II. By the end of his tour with the Flying Tigers, he had accounted for 9.5 confirmed kills and had also been shot down twice. This particular aircraft was lost on April 10, 1942, in a strafing attack at Loiwing. He rose to the rank of Major General and, during the Vietnam War, he was the deputy commanding officer of the 2d Air Division in Vietnam and the 13th Air Force in the Philippines. He retired from the United States Air Force in 1968 as commander of the Twelfth Air Force, passing away on August 18, 2009 aged 94.

His military decorations include the Air Force Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit (x2), Purple Hearty and Distinguished Flying Cross (UK)
