Icarus Golden Age Releases Curtiss Hawk II Export Version
The Curtiss Hawk II
represented the end of a lengthy period of a Boeing monopoly on
single seat fighter sales to the US Navy. This is not to say that
Curtiss products or those of other manufacturers were
unsatisfactory or that Boeing had an unethical relationship with US
Navy procurement officers since Curtiss had sold a number of
two-seaters to the Navy during this period.
