Hello everyone;

I’ve heard or read somewhere that the US had at its disposal before WWII a plane called a P-37. I know what a P-36, a P-38 and a P-40 look like; but, what is a P-37?

Thanks,

Steve Gorder

There ya go. Its basically a modified p-36 with a beefed up performance package.

It can also be considered as a precursor to the P-40, which had a very similar wing and general aerodynamic layout. I can send you a three-view drawing if you need one.

Thanks Triarius an Mortarmagnet;

The three-view would be nice. Thanks again Ross.

It is a forerunner of the original P-40 with an Allison liquid-cooled engine.

I’ll send them via FSM email today or tomorrow, unless you want to send me another e-mail address you’d rather have me use.
