Looks as if there's a radial cowling behind it.

Are we really sure it's not a hawk 75/P36?

I know my Curtiss Hawks. Note the exhaust stacks on the side of the engine cowling and the scoop on top.

That is a Hawk 87.

What you are seeing in the background is the Prop, Spinner and reduction gear box that broke off in the crash.

Okay, yes, I see the gap where the exhasts should be, good point.

If you say so. No offence intended, I was curious.

Didn't take any offence sir.

Poor pilot. I can't help wonder if he survived, and for how long.

It's in good condition, considering the time that has passed. Barely a scratch really. Looks like one of my better landings .

i was wondering the same thing, if they identify the plane I would be curios if the pilot survived and is he still alive, if he is it would be nice to see him reunited with it
