Aleksander Siewierski, originally from Georgia, was in the United
States in 1917 and was there when the revolution in Russia broke
out. As Alexander Seversky, he founded the Seversky Aero
Corporation. Alexander Kartvelli (also a Georgian) became his main
designer. Unfortunately, financial problems led to firing Seversky,
and his company changed its name to Republic Aviation Corporation.
The projects started and developed by Seversky, which resulted in
the P-35 fighter, were continued, though. As a result of its
further development, a design for the XP-41 high-altitude fighter
equipped with a turbocharger was prepared. Only a prototype was
built, while many of its solutions went to a more advanced
aircraft, designated AP-4, and finally P-43.
