Curtiss delivered 46 P-6E Hawks in 1931–1932, which equipped the 17th and 33rd Pursuit Squadrons, However the P-6E was never used in combat.

The P-6 Hawk series went on to see modest export success, albeit in limited numbers, throughout the world - particularly to Latin American customers. The United States Navy also utilized the "Hawk" system with a different designation and some modifications.

Still, the P-6E is recognized as one of the most beautiful aircraft of the 1930s, and to some , it is one of the most beautiful biplanes ever built.

A single P-6E survives. The aircraft was donated to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and restored by the School of Aeronautics at Purdue University. This aircraft is currently on display at the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton, Ohio.
