HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Curtiss P-40F Warhawk “Miss Memphis,” flown with the 85th Fighter Squadron of the 79th Fighter Group, was a rugged and dependable fighter that played a key role in the Allied air campaign over North Africa during World War II. Operated by the United States Army Air Forces, the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was well-suited to the harsh desert environment, combining durability with solid firepower. The P-40F variant, equipped with a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, offered improved high-altitude performance compared to earlier versions, enhancing its effectiveness in combat against Axis aircraft.
“Miss Memphis” saw action during the later stages of the North African Campaign, where Allied forces sought to drive Axis troops from the region. The 79th Fighter Group provided vital air support during operations such as Operation Torch and subsequent advances across Tunisia. Pilots flying P-40Fs conducted a wide range of missions, including bomber escort, ground attack, and strafing runs against enemy convoys, airfields, and supply lines. These missions were often carried out in challenging conditions, with extreme heat, sand, and limited infrastructure testing both aircraft and crews.
As the campaign progressed, the P-40F units, including the 85th Fighter Squadron, contributed significantly to achieving air superiority over Axis forces. Aircraft like “Miss Memphis” became symbols of resilience and determination, supporting the Allied push that ultimately led to the defeat of Axis forces in North Africa. Although later overshadowed by more advanced fighters, the Warhawk’s reliability and versatility ensured its lasting place in aviation history, particularly in early and mid-war operations where it formed the backbone of Allied tactical air power.
This 1:72 scale model is a striking tribute to one of the most iconic fighters of the North African Campaign. Featuring authentic squadron markings and detailed craftsmanship, it captures the rugged character and combat legacy of the Warhawk. Perfect for collectors of World War II aircraft, this replica brings the history of desert air combat to life, add it to your collection today and honor the legacy of the 79th Fighter Group.

Wrong size on shirt’s tag and description!
Size: 16"-16.5" Neck 36"-37" Sleeve, Color: Dark Blue, Size: 16"-16.5" Neck 36"-37" Sleeve, Color: Dark Blue
We have ordered Van Heusen dress shirts in size 16.5 neck and 36”-37” sleeves for years. This shirt’s sleeves are 2-3” too short! The shirt is tagged wrong. I ordered the same size brand and shirt in a different color and you can see the difference in the sleeve’s length in the photo! Annoyed I need to return the defective item.
