P-35A, used by the Japanese, Sweden, USAAF, and I think maybe China.

The Japanese Navy ordered 20 of a two-seat version of the P-35 in 1938, the only American-built planes used operationally by a Japanese squadron during WW II. Sweden also purchased 60 improved single-seat EP-106s, but a second order for 60 was taken over by the U.S. Army in 1940 and designated P-35As. Most were assigned to the 17th and 20th Pursuit Squadrons in the Phillipines; all were lost in action early in the war.



You guys are good!

Widewing,

Do you run the CoA museum site? If so, that's a great site. Anyone should check it out. I spent a lot of time over there just last week. In fact, I'd even read that page (and the other two in the series).

I'm pretty sure it's the Seversky P-35 or 36.
