Cessna Model P.3 Fighter

Hi friends!
Here I post a 3-view of the 1938 fighter "Model P.3" taken from the book "Cessna - A Master's Expression - by Edward H. Phillips".
I hope you'll like it!

Neat, thanks for sharing. It's easy to see how that design could have evolved into a competent lightweight fighter along the lines of the Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa.

Looks wise it's pretty similar to the Nakajima Ki-27.

Very nice! Unknown Cessna projects do not come up very often into the light.

Thanks for posting this interesting project. Looks a little bit passé for 1938. It also bears a striking resemblance to the Romanian IAR 15 fighter prototype, flown in 1933: http://www.aviastar.org/air/romania/iar-15.php
