One of Curtiss’s Countless Hawks

img884

Over the years, Curtiss built the following:

Hawk, Hawk I, Hawk II, Turkeyhawk, Goshawk, Seahawk, Sparrowhawk, Goshawk (again), Hawk III, Hawk IV, Mohawk, Tomahawk, Kittyhawk, Warhawk, Seahawk (also again). Oh, and Curtiss also built a Hawk I for the Gulf Oil Company. It was named, you guessed it, the Gulfhawk.

The aircraft seen here is the P-3A (Hawk).

If “Hawk” could be tacked onto a word (or supplemented with Roman numerals) then Curtiss would immediately do so.
