P-1A (Model 34G) was an improved variant of the P-1 and the first versions built in greater numbers. In September 1925, it was the USAAC ordered 25 of the machines (26-276/300), deliveries began in April of the following year. The difference was in the extended hull design, modified fairing of the engine and modified the fuel system. Three other P-1A were rebuilt not the second half of the year P-2 25-421, 422, and 424. Their user once again become the 1. fighter group, based on Selfridge-Field, the machine 26-296 of the original order was left in the factory and adapted to the prototype of an advanced practice XAT-4. In 1927 he was to the factory returned also 26-300, which got radial engine Wasp and the new designation XP-3A. Remodeling see also 26-295, which was edited for the next edition of the National air races by being given equal to the wing of the XPW-8A, this time with surface cooling, and the engine V-1570 Conqueror. Under the designation XP-6A with him lieutenant Batten won first place with a rate of 233,9 km/h, shortly before the race in 1928 but was destroyed in the crash. Another experimental machine became under the designation XP-1A also 26-280.

Already in 1927, began to P-1A to receive also to 43. school squadron in the texas Kelly Field, where three of them signed up and into a cinema performance in the role of a German aircraft in the movie Wings.

P-1A was also the first variant, which has enjoyed export - in 1926 eight of the machines purchased by Chile, where they served until 1939, probably without the "sharp" deployment. Curtiss even in Los Cerrillos in Santiago de Chile he founded with government support factory, where he was mounting the Hawk P-1A and P-1B and O-1E Falcon from the america parts for the latino market, the actual production here, but probably there was. In the early 30. flight was a Curtiss forced because of the economic crisis this montovnu to conclude, when the chilean government canceled a large part of their orders. In the factory even left a few completed machines, which Curtiss was trying to get rid of a few years.

Another machine bought Japan,traditionally trying to keep track of the western structures. In February and march of 1928 was one of the P-1A represented Jimmy doo for a minute together with an order of the Falcon in Bolivia, where both machines participate in a practice battle with the bolivian Breguetem XIX, and Doolittle made an unsuccessful attempt to take off with the floats-equipped Hawk of lake Titicaca. Bolivia has expressed an interest and bought a few Falcons, although it is but mentioned that she bought four Hawks, in fact at this time she gave preference to the Vickers Type 143 "Bolivian Scout". At the beginning of the 30. years bought nine relatives of the export machinery Hawk II..
