Re: US Fighter Aircraft 1940

24PS - P-36
27PS - P-35, P-36

36PS - P-36, P-40
39PS - P-35, P-36
40PS - unk
41PS - P-35
43PS - P-36
55PS - P-36
77PS - P-36, P-40
78PS - P-36
79PS - P-36, P-40
94PS - P-35, P-36, P-40
Maurer and Maurer are not very good with exact dates, so this is what those squadrons were equipped with in 1940
A large number of additional squadrons were constituted in December 1940, but only started forming in 1941.
30 squadrons of Peashooters, Severskys and Hawks are not going to frighten the Lw
someone else can look up the USN
