Discover the dramatic and often overlooked story of the Seversky P-35, America’s first modern all-metal fighter, and its unexpected role in the early days of World War II. Once hailed as a technological breakthrough, the P-35 was already outclassed by the time the United States entered the war—yet it found itself thrust into the front lines during the desperate defense of the Philippines in 1941.

In this video, we explore the P-35’s origins, its advanced features for the 1930s, the failed export deal to Sweden, and the tragic reality faced by American and Filipino pilots who flew the outdated fighter against superior Japanese aircraft like the Zero and Ki-43. From Nichols Field to the battles over Bataan, the P-35’s story is one of courage against overwhelming odds.

Learn how this early fighter helped pave the way for later Republic designs—culminating in the legendary P-47 Thunderbolt—and why the P-35 remains an important symbol of America’s transition into the age of modern air warfare.
