Historical Overview of the Seversky P-35

The Seversky P-35 was the first single-seat, all-metal fighter used operationally by the USAAC. It took to the air for the first time in 1935 and became the primary fighter aircraft of the U.S. Air Forces from 1937 to 1941, before being replaced by newer designs. It was mainly involved in pre–World War II actions and in the early phase of the war, especially in the Philippines, where it fought against Japanese aviation. The P-35 was also exported—Sweden and several other countries received this aircraft.
