The US organized their early air force as a part of the US Army. Their aircraft was identified as by the type and model number. One type of airplane was a Pursuit plane and they were identified by "P" such as the P-40.


A monoplane is an airplane with a single wing as compared to a Biplane. The very first fighters were biplanes in WW1 and soon after that. So the first single wing figher planes could be referred to as "pursuit monoplane". One of the first US monoplane fighters was the P-26 Pea Shooter.
