Designers, pilots, mechanics, and the financiers who provided capital are all recognized. Hawk markings and paint schemes follow, along with a meticulously-checked listing of all Hawks, by serial number, both Army and Navy. Succeeding early chapters detail the evolution of the legendary Hawk biplanes, their many variants and export models. Then, Curtiss Design No. 75 and the P-36 is covered, much of its history given in the words of its designer, Donovan Berlin. A major portion of the book is dedicated to the Tomahawks, Warhawks, and Kittyhawks, the famed P-40's, and it's all there: tech data; squadron service, serials, then men who built them and the men who flew them.\" --jacket.
