Curtis Hawk P-6 History:
The Curtiss P-36 Hawk, also
known as the Curtiss Hawk Model
75, was an American designed and
built fighter aircraft of the 1930s and
40s. it was one of the first of a new
generation of combat aircraft—a
sleek monoplane design making
extensive use of metal in its
construction and powered by a
powerful radial engine. Obsolete at
the onset of World War II and best
known as the predecessor of the
Curtiss P-40, the P-36 saw only
limited combat with the United
States Army Air Forces, but it was
used more extensively by the French
Air Force, both during the Battle of
France and by the Vichy France
armed forces, and also by the British
Commonwealth (where it was
known as the Mohawk), and
Chinese air units. Several dozen
also fought in the Finnish Air Force
against the Soviet Red Air Force.
The first production P-36As were
delivered to the 20th Pursuit Group
at Barksdale Field in Louisiana in
April 1938. Five of the 39 P-36A
Mohawks at Pearl Harbor were able
to take off during the attack and were
credited with shooting down two
Japanese Mitsubishi A6M2 fighters
for the loss of one P-36, the first U.S.
aerial victories of World War II.
With around 1,000 aircraft built,
the P-36 was a major commercial
success for Curtiss.
