P-36 Hawk

"Hawk of Haleiwa, December 7, 1941"
by Jack Fellows

$125.00

The Curtis P-36 Hawk, developed from the Curtiss "Hawk" Model 75 originally designed for France, was first produced for the Air Corps in 1938. Both France and England used the Hawk 75A in combat over Europe in 1939 and 1940, even though the airplane was obsolescent when compared to its major adversary, the Messerschmitt 109. During 1941, the AAF transferred 39 of its P-36s to Hawaii and 20 to Alaska, and with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, two of the first six AAF fighters to get off the ground to meet the enemy were P-36s. Following the outbreak of hostilities, the outmoded P-36 was relegated to training and courier duties within the U.S.A.
