The Fighter Collection's 1939 Curtiss Hawk 75A-1 in French Air Force markings at Duxford Aerodrome
The Curtiss BF2C Goshawk-2 served the U.S. Navy from 1934-1938. Up to this time, the Navy had been repurposing existing fighter aircraft in the dive bomber role. The Goshawk was the first aircraft designated as 'BF' for bomber/fighter from the factory. It had fabric-covered metal construction with metal-covered control surfaces. The Navy "high hat" squadron retained BFC's until February, 1938. Though the Goshawk did not see combat with the U.S. Navy, the Chinese Nationalist Air Force received 52 F11Cs as Hawk IIs and fought against the Japanese during the Second Sino-Japanese War.
