EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Hawker P.V.3, a British single-engined biplane fighter prototype that graced the skies in 1934. Designed and built by Hawker Aircraft Ltd, this aircraft was a contender for a specific requirement of the Royal Air Force (RAF). The P.V.3 boasted advanced features for its time, including a retractable landing gear and an enclosed cockpit. However, despite its promising design, only a single example was built, as the Gloster Gladiator was ultimately selected to fulfil the RAF's need for a new fighter. The Hawker P.V.3's short-lived aviation career ended in 1935 when it was scrapped. This image offers a rare glimpse into the history of aviation, capturing the essence of a pivotal moment in the development of British military aircraft during the interwar period.
