p35

Seversky also wrote a book in the 1960s that warned of the perils of military weakness in the face of Soviet military power. It was called "America: Too Young To Die." It was something of a success, at the time.....Barry Goldwater was running for president.

I do not think that the aircraft at the top right is a P-47. The landing gear look like a P-35 witch would make more sense because Jacqueline Cochran is standing next to the P-35 that she won the Bendix trophy in.

Yes I agree, the shape of the radial cowl is wrong in addition to the semi-exposed landing gear to be a (Jug) P-47.

Correct. And regarding the "semi-exposed" landing gear of the P-35 (and others like the Northrop BT-1), Boeing eventually won a patent in the 30's for designing a landing gear strut that would rotate 90 degrees while retracting, thereby allowing the landing gear to fully retract into the lower wing and reducing aerodynamic drag. So Curtiss (P-36 & P-40), Vought (F4U), Grumman (F6F) and others had to pay Boeing royalties to incorporate this design feature. Ironically, none of the famous Boeing designs (P-26, B-17 & B-29) used this more advanced landing gear design!

The Seversky P-35A was produced in several variants, including the EP-106, 60 of which were delivered to Sweden as J 9's. They served through the war and were finally retired around 1952. Few of the ~120 produced still exist, but the only one flying is an AT-12 [NX55539] with the Planes of Fame collection in Chino, CA.
