P-36... Curtiss Mohawk... Flew well against the Bf-109s and Yaks, when flown by, the dare I say it, French and Finns respectively.
P-35... offspring of the AP-7... there's an amusing film clip of Jackie Cochran taking off in one from Burbank in a Thompson Trophy race... as she winds up the landing gear you can see the plane oscillate due to her holding onto the control stick.
Wasn't the first guy from Yurp to the "New World" Snorri someone'sson?
