The Curtiss-Wright CW-21, also called the Model 21, Demonstrator, Interceptor or Demon, was an American fighter-interceptor developed in the 1930s by the St. Louis Airplane Division of Curtiss-Wright. George A. Page wanted a lightweight export fighter with the highest possible rate of climb, based on the Model 19, and a team under chief engineer Willis Wells produced a single-seat, all-metal low-wing monoplane with a 1,000 hp Wright R-1820-G5 radial engine, retractable tailwheel landing gear and no armour or fuel tank protection, to save weight. The prototype first flew on 22 September 1938; the Army Air Corps rejected it, but China received the prototype, which was flown in combat against Japanese bombers over Chongqing in April 1939.
