VERY VERY RARE Curtiss Hawk 75 Pursuit Plane advertising brochure, virtually NEW and over 75 years old. 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. A contemporary of both the Hawker Hurricane and Messerschmitt Bf 109 , 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 Warhawk , the P-36 saw only limited combat with the United States Army Air Forces .The P-36 was used more extensively by the French Air Force , both during the Battle of France and by the Vichy French ; and was used against French forces in the Franco-Thai War (October 1940–9 May 1941.) It was also used by the British Commonwealth (where it was known as the Mohawk ), and by Chinese air units . Several dozen also fought in the Finnish Air Force against the Soviet Air Forces . With around 1,000 aircraft built, the P-36 was a major commercial success for Curtiss. This article also covers the YP-37 and the XP-42 prototypes based on the P-36.
