The number of Japanese planes shot down by the pilot of the P-40 Warhawk can be determined by counting the rising sun flags painted on the side of the fuselage. Each flag typically represents one confirmed kill. Therefore, if there are, for example, five rising sun flags, it would indicate that the pilot shot down five Japanese planes.

Where do I find Information about Curtiss P-40E Warhawk Number 136504?

I found a picture of a P40 with the tail number of 136504 in old photos that my mother gave me. My father was a pilot in WWII. The pilot in this photo looks like my my father and I assume it is him. There is information painted on the fuselage above the wing and below the cockpit but I can not read it. There is no other information on the photo. I do not know when or where it was taken. My father's name was Starlin Fane Litteral and I always thought that he served in the Pacific. He passed away in 1965 when I was only 18 and I never had the opportunity to learn about his service during the war.

Why are P-51 Mutangs' tails painted red?

Each air unit had their own distinctive colors, designs & markings. Different colors for different units. The propeller nose is also a common feature that gets different colors, as well as the fuselage forward of the cockpit. This allows for quick recognition of other aircraft, friend or foe, your squadron or someone else's, etc. It's like sports teams' uniforms. Each team has a different set colors & design from the other teams. Everyone on the same team has the same uniform. Each team member has their own number on their jersey, and sometimes their name also. The "Red Tails" are an American Fighter Group with African-American pilots & ground crew in WW2. In the movie, when this group converted from the P-40 Warhawk to the P-51 Mustang, they painted the tails of the Mustangs red to distinguish themselves from the other US P-51 fighter units that used different colors.
