MOST BEAUTIFUL HAWK of the 1920s and '30s was the Curtiss P-6E of 1932 - eventually forty-six were brought up to 'E standard, which in turn was the ultimate form after combining experimental YP-20, XP-22 and Y1P-22 Hawks. Maximum speed for a.u.w. of 3,436 lb. was 197 m.p.h. on 600-h.p. Curtiss V-1570-23 driving 3-blade, f.-p. metal airscrew. Span 31 ft. 6 in.; length 23 ft. 2 in. Aircraft of the period carried squadron insignia in lieu of fuselage cockades.

VULTEE F.T.B. (P. & W.). - Something of a "mystery ship" is NX-14980 which has the tail assembly of the well-known three-seat Vultee V-11-GB - mainly built as an export attack-bomber - but little else to identify it. The fixed undercarriage is even more functional than that of the Folland F.T.B. The enclosed single-seat cockpit is almost hidden by the wing. The engine is a Pratt & Whitney 2-row radial. Note the ventral D/F loop and aerial mast.
