Seversky P-35 at the NMUSAF

Look familiar? A forerunner of the Republic P-47, the P-35 was the USAAC first production single-seat, all-metal pursuit plane with retractable landing gear and an enclosed cockpit. Of the 76 P-35s accepted into service, this example, P-35 35-404, on display at the National Museum of the USAF at Dayton is the only known survivor. It served with the 94th Pursuit Squadron, 1st Pursuit Group but is marked as P-35A 41-17449, the plane flown by the 17th Pursuit Squadron commander in the Philippines in the spring of 1941.
