TRANSCRIPT
The amazing creation of Rene Leduc, who sucessfully demonstrated his obsession with the ramjet engine concept. The Leduc 016 was released at altitude from a four-engined Sud SE-161 Languedoc transport aircraft (a section of which is retained here). After release the pilot would fire up the ramjet and the aircraft flew. This aircraft flew a test program until retirement in 1953. The pilots were VERY brave.
H-75Ns clashed with French Morane 406 fighters over Cambodia in 1941
One of the gems in the Thai Air Force Museum is this fixed-gear Hawk 75, with Madsen cannon in underwing pods.
Curtiss Hawk 75A-1 – Essa aeronave passou a ser denominada P- 36 e serviu de base para a montagem do Curtis P- 40 simplesmente com a troca do motor radial refrigerado a ar por um motor em linha refrigerado a água.
Warhawk was the name the United States Army Air Corps adopted for all models, making it the official name in the United States for all P-40s. British Commonwealth air forces gave the name Tomahawk to models equivalent to the P-40B and P-40C and the name Kittyhawk to models
equivalent to the P-40E and all later variants.
