[edit] AT-12 Guardsman
I pulled out the bit below, it belongs in the AT-12 article. - Emt147 Burninate! 06:46, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Incidentally, Seversky also built a refinement of the original two-seat fighter concept embodied by the SEV-2XP, resulting in a fighter-bomber designated the 2PA Guardsman, which was available with retractable landing gear or floats. The USSR bought one with each landing gear option, plus a manufacturing license, but never put the type into production.
The Japanese Imperial Navy actually bought 20 2PAs, apparently through a subterfuge to conceal the ultimate customer, but found them disappointing. Two of them were passed on the Asahi Shimbun newspaper as hacks. Sweden ordered 52 2PAs as dive-bombers, but only two were delivered before the US embargoed exports of fighters to Sweden in October 1940, and the other 50 ended up in USAAC hands as the AT-12 Guardsman.
- Never mind, I got it sorted out. The text is back in the article. - Emt147 Burninate! 07:41, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Rewrite
I've rewritten the entire article and made it conform to the WikiProject Aircraft manual of style: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Aircraft/page_content - Emt147 Burninate! 08:08, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] More international
This same plane was also built under licence by the italians (Reggiane 2000 Falco with Piaggo engine) and the hungarians (WM Héja with the Gnome Rhone K14 engine). 195.70.32.136 12:03, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
- Nope, the Reggiane Re.2000 is not a licence built version of P-35! It's a completely new design. Sure they look alike, but that's due to other reasons. There are several other cases of look-a-likes with no relations in aviation history, Convair 240 and Martin 202 beeing one other. --Towpilot 23:45, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
