 A P-40 Warhawk as flown against the Japanese by the AVG (American Volunteer Group) in China under General Claire Chennault prior to the US entry into WWII.

Good colour, and focus and all that; I don't see a strong use of perspective here, but that could just be subjective. But then, the assessment of photographs is pretty subjective, anyhow. Your crop makes the pfamous paint-job definitely the focus of the image.

I like the colors and the background looks good. I wish you had included all of the wheels and (possibly) all of the wings.

Would have convey perspective better from closer to dead-on to the nose, with the rest of the plane receding. This looks like just a normal shot of the plane.
