Historical Information

The Curtiss P-36 Hawk was a single-engine American fighter that played a significant role in the early years of World War II. Although it was outperformed by newer aircraft, the P-36 was widely exported and used in, among others, the battles over Hawaii during the attack on Pearl Harbor, as well as in wartime engagements in France and China. This model, also known as the Hawk 75, is considered one of the symbols of the dynamic development of military aviation at the turn of the 1930s and 1940s.
