Republic Aviation was originally known as the Seversky Aircraft Company, founded by a Russian WWI veteran and staffed (at least initially) by engineers from the former Russian empire. It was Seversky's P-35 from which Italian engineers loosely based the Re.2000.

Keep making yourself look like a fool though. It's good fun.
