Hawk 75

While other planes like the D.520 get the ink the real backbone of the French pursuit squadrons was the Curtiss Hawk.

     Think it was last year that they restored a beautiful P-36/Model
75 in French colors out in California.  It is an amazing looking bird.

I saw one flying in Duxford a couple of years ago.
It would be a great addition to early war French scenarios and to Fin-Rus fights :)

The Duxford 75 was restored in California.  Same bird.  Saw it fly at Duxford in 2005.  It would be a nice one to go along with the Brewster and I-16.  Ki-43 would help too :)

The Hawk 75 would be a good addition to the EW plane set because it can be used in multiple early war scenarios covering the ETO, PTO and CBI theaters.
