I trawled through websites dedicated to "were also in service" fighters such as the P-66.
The P-66 formed the backbone of the early Taiwanese airforce and was involved in the Chinese Civil War against Mao's communists, as was the mystery aircraft.
The mystery aircraft isn't a P-36 Hawk. The P-36 is a Curtis designed aircraft, whilst the NF-1 was designed by Severesky before it became Republic.
This fighter was Republic's very first design and build contract for lend-lease only.
The P-47 was a scaled up version of this aircraft.
So what is it??
