P40 in the BOB

One issue with the French Hawk 75s that has not been mentioned was that the throttle worked in the opposite sense; push forward decreases power as opposed to 'Balls to the Wall'. This might have caused a bit of confusion in the heat of the battle! Evidence states that the throttles were re-rigged to prevent confusion before the aircraft were delivered to British units.

Check Buffnuts post #35 above... Ooops
