	Seversky P-35 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Seversky P-35 was a fighter aircraft built in the United States in the late 1930s.
		Aiming to increase sales, Alexander P. de Seversky personally took P-35 on a tour around Europe in ealry 1939, in the process becoming the first American pilot to fly the Supermarine Spitfire.
		The aircraft, powered by a 735 hp (550 kW) Wright R-1670 radial engine, had fixed landing gear in aerodynamic spats and was armed with one 0.50 in and one 0.30 in forward-firing machine guns plus an additional 0.30 in for rear defence.

		Seversky reasserted that airpower was the key to victory and that traditional forms of land and sea warfare had been eclipsed by the airplane.
		Seversky, however, believed a long-range escort could be made possible by use of internal fuel tanks (“wet wings”), which would not sacrifice the attributes that also made a successful fighter.
		Seversky, while flying in formation with another Russian airplane, had playfully reached up and grabbed the trailing wire radio antenna of his mate, flying along “connected” to the other airplane for several minutes.

	The Seversky P-35-Predecessor of the P-47 Thunderbolt
		Seversky managed to bring his burning aircraft down for a rough crash-landing in the open sea but a bomb had hung up on its rack and detonated upon impact with the water.
		Seversky built up a large friendship of important military and political officials and during the 1920s patented a number of devices that helped develop aviation.
		Seversky and chief designer Alexander Kartveli, also a Russian refugee, were always modifying their designs to attract more customers- especially lucrative export orders.

	Seversky P-35: european derivatives.
		Paradoxically, if the Seversky P 35 was not an "up to date" fighter, its conception inspired several European manufacturers.
		Finally, the P-35, despite its various shortcomings, was a commercial success for Alexander de Seversky who joined with little efforts the rank of the major airplane designers.

		Races, movies...The Seversky racers moved with their time, the era of an America who tried to forget the Great Depression, wanting to believe in the progress of a peaceful world, having fun with Jazz, swing, and marvelling at the first coloured movies of the Hollywood studios...
		The story of the Seversky racers is linked with famous names of the "world of flying" in the Thirties.

	Seversky
		Seversky's method of assigning c/ns was at best enigmatic and illogical, especially to outsiders — c/n 1 shows up two years after c/n 301, and 301 changed to c/n 35 for one modification, there were found two c/n 2s, and curious large gaps between numbers.
		Wagner shows a photo of Seversky 2PA-L that was sold to USSR and looks very similar to the 2PA-B3 (and does not seem to have the F-1 marking).
		The designation was Seversky's own for "Naval Fighter One." There is a USN photo of NF-1 in both Wagner's American Combat Planes (1982) and AAHS Journal 3/1 (1958).

	"Lady Racer"
		The Seversky P-35 was not originally designed as a racer, but when Alexander de Seversky could not interest the Army Air Corps in a long-range version of the P-35, he turned to air racing to prove its value.
		In 1938, Jacqueline won the Bendix Trophy flying the Seversky AP-7 (a civilian modified version of the P-35 fighter) in an elapsed time of 8:10.31 at an average speed of 249.774 mph.

		Unknown to Seversky his company sold 20 fighters to a company called Aircraft Trading that had dealings with one Mr.

		Seversky, feeling the severe pinch of the depression combined with American isolationism was quickly being overwhelmed by red ink.
		Seversky had heard of the mass executions of his fellow officers and promptly applied for American citizenship.
		Even in his early years in America, Seversky was obviously skilled at promoting himself, because he managed to gain a position as a test pilot and consultant with the fledgling United States Army Air Service.

	Republic (Seversky) P-35
		In 1939 Seversky adopted the name Republic Aviation Corporation, and in June received an order from the Swedish government for 15 of the P-35s which, in export form, were identified as EP-1s.
		In the event, the Soviet Union never took up the option for the manufacture of the 2PA-L. : In 1937, Seversky entered a P-35 (designated FN-1) in a US Navy competition for a new carrier-based fighter to replace the Grumman biplanes then in service.
		This, which had the company designation SEV-2XP, was submitted for competition, but while being flown to Wright Field on 18 June 1935 to participate, was involved in an accident which caused sufficient damage to necessitate its return to the factory for repair.

	Air Classics: Frank's Seversky
		After winning the highly prized Air Corps competition with his design that would become the P-35, Seversky came up with the clever idea of sending "near" P-35s to the races and he was not short of buyers.
		Accordingly, Seversky came up with the SEV-S2 (later, just S-2) which was a very thinly civilianized "sports" model of the P-35.
		Not all companies were willing to sell new fighter aircraft but there was one aeronautical concern that threw caution to the wind and sold aircraft to any and all buyers - something that would cause considerable trouble a bit later on.

	Reggiane Re.2000 Falco "Falcon"
		In 1937 the company began development of a single seat fighter which was based very closely on the US Seversky Aircraft Corporation's P-35 designed by Alexander Kartveli.
		Officine Meccaniche Reggiane SA was a subsidiary of the Caproni company, for which it built aircraft during World War I, but it had no direct association with the aircraft industry from the end of that war until resuming design and manufacture in the mid-1930's.
		A cantilever low wing monoplane with retractable landing gear, the Reggiane Re.2000 Falco I prototype, powered by a 870 hp (649 kw) Piaggio P.XI RC.40 radial engine, was flown for the first time in 1938.

		The Colonel wanted Seversky's P-35 for combat, so he wrote a letter to Major Seversky telling him that he just had to get his airplane released for export as the Chinese were desperately in need of that plane.
		Consequently the Seversky's P-35 was not available for export, but by default the Curtiss Hawk 75 was.
		However, it was the P-35 that Chennault was interested in, and he gave Seversky some suggestions as to how the export might be allowed after all.

	1/48 Seversky P-35A Swedish J9 by Dennis Weber
		Seversky's P-35 did not have a particularly distinguished career in World War II - one reference of mine claiming that only 8 of 48 were airworthy after the first two days of Japanese attacks in the Phillippines.
		Nonetheless, one could argue that the mightly Republic P-47 Thunderbolt would not have come into existence without the production of the P-35.
		When I opened Hobbycraft's 1/48 Philippine Defender kit (HC1551) and first saw those cool Swedish decals there was never any doubt that this kit was going to be done as a Swedish J9.

		This prototype was a straight descendant of Seversky's AP-7 racer, that mated the P-35 wing with a lengthened fuselage and a stronger Pratt and Whitney R-1830 engine with 1000+ hp.
		Alexander de Seversky was one of the few who responded to Sweden's call and personally demonstrated his new 'Export Pursuit 1' (EP-1) design to the Swedish purchasing commission.

		The Seversky P-35 was the USAAC's first all-metal fighter with an enclosed cockpit and retractable landing gear.
		The USAAC ordered 76 of the original P-35's, all but one of which were assigned to the 1st Pursuit Group in Selfidge, Michigan.
		Introduced in 1937, it was a direct ancestor of the Republic P-47, whose evolution can easily be seen by comparing the P-35, XP-41, P-43, and P-47 (photos available on the USAF Museum site).
