The South African Air Force (SAAF) operated the Curtiss Tomahawk IIB, a variant of the P-40 fighter, extensively during World War II, particularly in the North African and East African campaigns. Units such as No. 5 Squadron SAAF used these rugged, albeit often outmatched, aircraft for fighter and fighter-bomber roles, including notable service in 1942. SAAF flew the Tomahawk Mark IIB, which was the RAF designation for the P-40C.
