The Seversky P-35 was a pioneering American fighter aircraft, introduced in the mid-1930s, notable for its all-metal construction, retractable landing gear, and enclosed cockpit. Designed by Alexander P. de Seversky, it was the USAAC’s first production monoplane fighter. Despite its advanced design for its time, the P-35 quickly became obsolete due to performance deficiencies, including inadequate speed, armament, and lack of protective features. By the time the U.S. entered World War II in December 1941, the P-35 had largely been replaced by more capable aircraft like the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk. The P-35 saw limited combat use, notably in the Philippines, where it was outclassed by Japanese fighters. The aircraft’s development and deployment underscore the rapid advancements in aviation technology leading up to and during the war.
