Reading a book on the "Flying Tigers" so titled. I just read where the P40's, (100 of them, of which 99 seem to have been assembled) were essentially bought by China pretty bare, no radios, gunsights, or.....guns.
The organizers for the AVG acquired the .50 cal nose guns directly from the US Army. About half of the .30 caliber wingguns came from from Colt in caliber 7.92 (so says the book anyhow). The other half from the Brits in caliber .303.
Now that would have been a real headache if your were an armorer.
