About Curtiss P-6E Hawk

Starting in 1925 with the P-1, Curtiss built a long series of fighters carrying the name "Hawk". Of the eight different P-6 models produced, the P-6E remains the best known. Originally designated the Y1P-22, it was later redesignated the P-6E because of the similarity to the other P-6 series airplanes.

The P-6E was never used in combat, but it is perhaps the best- known of all the "between wars" Army pursuit aircraft. Despite its excellent performance, only 46 P- 6E's were ordered because of the shortage of funds for the Air Corps during the austere days of the depression.
