1,500 Kittyhawk Mk.IA aircraft were built and were basically the export equivalent of the P-40E and were sent to the RAF, RCAF, RAAF, and RNZAF.

However, the aircraft did have an impressive dive speed. The maximum speed for the P-40 was just 361 miles per hour, with a range of 716 miles, and a service ceiling of 29,100 feet.
