Title: Hawk 75
Post by: humble on June 30, 2009, 01:01:45 PM

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.
