Curtiss P-36 Hawk

            The Curtiss P-36 Hawk was a single-engine fighter aircraft that was used by the United States Army Air Corps and other air forces during World War II. 

It was designed by Curtiss-Wright Corporation in the mid-1930s as an improvement over the earlier Curtiss P-26. 

The P-36 Hawk was a low-wing monoplane with retractable landing gear and was powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp radial engine. It had a top speed of 313 mph and a range of 1,000 miles. 

The P-36 Hawk was first used in combat by the Chinese Air Force against the Japanese in 1937. It was also used by the French Air Force during the Battle of France in 1940. 

The United States Army Air Corps used the P-36 Hawk in the Philippines and Hawaii before and during the attack on Pearl Harbor. However, by the time the United States entered World War II, the P-36 Hawk was considered obsolete and was replaced by newer aircraft such as the P-40 Warhawk and the P-38 Lightning. 

Overall, the Curtiss P-36 Hawk was an important aircraft in the early years of World War II and played a significant role in the defense of several countries.
