Seversky P-35 Pioneer Fighter SOL'S Hoodie

Dive into the thrilling era of the 1930s with the Seversky P-35, a trailblazer in the world of fighter aircraft. As the first single-seat fighter in the United States Army Air Corps to feature all-metal construction, retractable landing gear, and an enclosed cockpit, the P-35 was a marvel of its time. Produced by the Seversky Aircraft Corporation, later known as Republic Aviation, it marked a significant leap in aviation technology. Operational from the mid-1930s, the P-35 was a precursor to the more famous P-47 Thunderbolt. It saw action in various conflicts before World War II, including serving with the Swedish Air Force under the designation J9. The P-35's sleek design, powerful Wright R-1820 Cyclone engine, and its role as a stepping stone to more advanced fighters, make it a fascinating chapter in military aviation history.
