U.S. P-36 Hawk Fighter

The Curtiss P-36 Hawk was an American radial-engined fighter developed before the Second World War. Its all-metal monoplane layout represented an important advance over earlier biplane fighters, although it was soon overtaken by newer designs. Export Hawks served prominently with France and other air forces, and American examples were present during the Pearl Harbor attack. Its relationship to the later P-40 is important: the P-40 developed the family concept with a different engine arrangement rather than being simply another name for the P-36. French Hawk75 service became an important part of the family’s combat story. The same basic design could therefore be encountered under several national names and with different local equipment choices.
