Pilots perform acceptance test flights on new P-40 aircraft at Curtiss Aircraft facility in Buffalo, NY during World War II

Pilots test fly a P-40 airplane at a Curtiss Company facility at Buffalo, NY (the Buffalo municipal airport) during World War II. Curtiss company employees giving a final cleanup and polish to a shiny P-40 airplane. parked on the ramp. Two pilots are suited up to fly: H. Lloyd Child, Curtiss’ chief test pilot (at left), and a U.S. Army Air Force major (at right), are dressed in flight suits, helmets, goggles, and wearing seat-pack parachutes. They stand beside a well-worn P-40 airplane that has a pilot/technician in its cockpit, checking controls. H. Lloyd Child (at left), points to a clipboard on his leg with information on it and discusses it with another pilot (the USAAF major). Next, a pilot is seen taxiing the shiny P-40 at fairly high speed, with the canopy open. He taxis past parked aircraft in front of a hangar, including a Curtiss SBC Helldiver; a Stinson Gullwing; and a Spartan Executive airplane. The P-40 taxis out to the runway where the pilot makes a long takeoff roll before breaking ground. Then he pulls the P-40 into a fairly steep climb, leveling off at about traffic pattern altitude, without retracting his landing gear.

A U.S. Army Air forces Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk airplane taxis and takes off from an airfield in the United States, that appears to have some construction work taking place on it (dump truck in background) during World War 2. The P-40's landing gear takes a long time to retract after takeoff, with the right gear lingering down, well after the left has retracted. Aloft, the P-40 maneuvers around a slow-moving light aircraft camera plane, joining up near it and flying rapidly away, and then diving toward it.
