Take note that the comparison I saw was between the Hawk-75 and the earliest version of the Spitfire which wasn't the version that went into combat. By then new props had been installed giving a significantly better performance in particular in the climb.

I have never seen a comparison between the P-36 and the Spit but I find it hard to believe.
