Good question! I must say, all I can do is guess, and that wouldn't be an educated one. I suppose I can't "cheat" and look it up, huh?

Okay, I will take a stab. I figure some obscure Botswanian air force still had them in service until, say, 1955? Perhaps they took part in some pygmy uprising or whatever.

closest one so far is by zeke.
very very close zeke.
since nobody seem to get it right i'll give another hint.
they've been used till after '55 but taken out of active duty before '60
ow btw zeke the Botswanian AF never used the P-40
Air Forces that did use the P-40 were:
Australia
Brazil
Canada
China
Egypt
France
Dutch East Indies
New Zealand
Turkey
UK
USA
USSR
If you want i can also tell you which versions they've received and how many of them.
