The Curtiss Model 75M was a version of the Hawk 75 with a fixed undercarriage, thirty of which were produced by Curtiss and another 82 in China.
The Model 75M was powered by an R-1280 Cyclone engine, and armed with four machine guns, two in the wings and two in the nose. Thirty were built by Curtiss, and deliveries began in May 1938. The remaining aircraft were apparently built in China by the Central Aircraft Manufacturing Company. The type is known to have equipped three full squadrons.
