  1. Hawk 75's. Precursor to the P-40.

    1. New to me. Always thought P40s were amazing.

    2. They changed this to a P40 by attaching an Allison V12 to the front to replace the radial (two different radials were used over the life of the aircraft) . Behind the firewall didn't change much. The Hawk 75 saw some British use in Burma and they were popular with pilots who were prepared to dogfight the acrobatic Japs with them. A fine handling aircraft.
