"[80 years ago today] Six Chinese Hawk 75M fighters of 18th Pursuit Squadron are transiting between airfields when they come across twenty-seven G3M naval bombers escorted by eight A6Ms. The Zeroes shoot down two and damage one for no losses. "

"The Curtiss Hawk 75M is an export version of the P-36 with a weaker engine and non-retractable landing gear. It is simplified for ease of maintenance, rough field use, and so that it can be produced in Chinese factories. "
