The Mohawk Mk I's to Mark III's were all ex French order A-75A a/c. The Mk IV's were also part French order, but also part a.n.others (including some ex Persian, Chinese, and Indian a/c). The reason that so many were from the French order was that it was for some 300 aircraft! Quite a few A-75's of course ended up with the Germans and their chums, including the Finnish Air Force. Those played a major part in the Winter War against the USSR.
