At the request of the USAAC created company Curtiss also a variant of the P-1 Hawk equipped with engine D-12 engines. This variant got the army designation of the Curtiss P-5, factory designation Model 34L and used engine V-1150-4 (D-12F). 14. may 1927 was ordered five machines, which were taken to Wright Field in January 1928. The increased weight and frontal resistance caused by the compressor led to a significant decline in performances in the country, the rate of climb is also not brilliant, at higher altitudes but significantly increased the maximum speed and altitude was the P-5 for nearly three miles higher than the standard P-1B. For operation at high altitudes could be the cockpit partially covered by a tarp and heated by the air generated on the exhaust pipe. Despite an excellent vertical performance but the army decided to hang on with the purchase of other machines, until he's finished a more powerful engine, the Curtiss Conqueror. Two of the P-5 (which bore and perhaps just the unofficial name of Superhawk) have been lost in accidents during three months after delivery, the other used by the 94. fighter squadron up to August 1932, when they were the survivors of the machine transferred to the training of mechanics..
