Variants

The P-43 used an R-1830-35 engine, was armed with 0.30 machine guns in the wings, and had no provisions for bombs.

The P-43A used a R-1830-49 engine.

The P-43B through P-43E were photoreconnaissance conversions.


The P-43 was a development of the P-35 and the ancestor of the P-47 Thunderbolt. It never saw combat, since it was judged to have inadequate performance, and production was halted in favor of the P-47, The few production P-43 were relegated to air defense along the West Coast. Some 51 were delivered to China, were they suffered from problems with the self-sealing fuel tanks and turbochargers.

About 150 were converted to P-43B photoreconnaissance planes in 1942.

Roughly a quarter of P-43 pilots were assigned to the West Coast.
