The Curtiss P-36 Hawk, referred to as the Curtiss Hawk Model 75, is a fighter aircraft designed and manufactured in America during the 1930s and 40s.
It was a contemporary of the Hawker Hurricane and the Messerschmitt Bf 109, and it represented one of the initial models of a new era of combat aircraft—a streamlined monoplane featuring a retractable landing gear and a significant use of metal in its build.
