Curtiss H-75A/Mohawk IV 'Allied Pilots'
The Curtiss H-75 was the export version of the American P-36 Hawk (Curtiss Model 75) fighter of the mid-1930s. The biggest foreign customer was France, taking deliveries of aircraft designated the H-75A-1, 2, 3 and 4, with the first planes entering service in the spring of 1939. They were modified for French Air Force usage and fitted with different equipment and armament. Of the fourth French sub-variant ordered, the H-75A-4 (H-751), only a handful reached the country before it surrendered to Nazi Germany in June 1940, while the rest of 190 a/c were taken over by the RAF as the Mohawk IV. These aircraft were sent to overseas and used in India and Burma while a great number of them was also supplied to the South African Air Force.
The H-75/Mohawk was a single-seat, all-metal low-wing monoplane with fabric-covered control surfaces. It had a retractable undercarriage with the main landing gear rotated 90° to fold flat into the wing. The A-3 variant was powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp two-row radial, while the Mohawk IV was equipped with a Wright R-1820 Cyclone single-row radial engine; both were fitted with Curtiss Electric propellers. The armament consisted of two machine guns in the nose and another two guns in each wing A small bomb carrier was also mounted under each outer part of the wing.
The Curtiss H-75 was used most extensively and successfully by the French Armee de l'Air during the Battle of France. A number of aircraft were also later used by the Free French Air Forces in Africa.
