28ZComeback Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I’ve read that Iran received P-36’s during WW2. Firstly, is this correct? If so, did they remain in a natural metal finish for their entire career? Many thanks for any information or leads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 In my computer the photo above does not open, so I do not know if it is not the same: Please have a look that aileron has part of NORWEGIAN markings (Little Norway in Canada) and rudder has Persian number 252 Here is another shot: Persian Curtisses 75 were all dismounted (in transport cartridges) when British-Soviet invasion on Iran happend All photos are of the same "252". It looks that they were then captured by RAF, since Wiki says this way A total of 10 Hawk 75A-9s were delivered to Persia, but were captured by the British during the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran while still in crates. These were then used by the RAF in India as Mohawk IVs. Regards J-W 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 The British took some over and used them as fighter trainers,..... mainly in India, wearing a desert camouflage scheme and RAF roundels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
