One of the last American biplane fighters, the Curtiss P-6E Hawk entered service in 1932 with the U.S. Army Air Corps. It reached speeds of 200 miles per hour and was known for its colorful squadron markings. The Hawk was retired in 1937, the same year Britain introduced the Hawker Hurricane. | AvPay.aero | Facebook
