Have to give SAM the credit on this one although P.E. was close.

As given in JANE'S ALL THE WORLD'S AIRCRAFT 1939

North American P-64, probably a replica pic but I am not sure on that point.

North American produced the NA-50 for Peru and the NA-68 for Thailand/Siam as a cheap export fighter based on the NA-16 design, or T-6 as P.E. thought. The US used them as P-64s for advance pursuit training early in WWII

Perfomance figures for the series were:

Max Speed 295mph at 9,500ft
Crusie Speed 255mph at 16,500ft
Empty Weight 4,470 pounds
loaded Weight 5,700 pounds
Engine was a Wright GR-1820-G203 Cyclone

On a personal work I havee to go back to work on the 19th on nights, RATS. A little over a week of fun and frivloity left.
