I gotta come up with some more obscure airplanes. Nicely done....
We spent some time shorebased at the French Navy base at Hyeres, France. Saw a lot of those ungainly looking little birds.
Hey; a little credit here please, a651. I thought the Tradewind WAS obscure. It took me a while to reason that one out. And, it wasn't easy. The big step was a simple analysis of just who the "large Mediterranean country" might be. Once I remembered France borders the Med, the rest fell into place pretty quickly. But, if you want obscure.... Thanks; Ernie P.
Question: What WWII aircraft do I describe?
Clues:
(1) Really, really, fast for a propeller driven aircraft.
(2) Only two prototypes were completed. Testing results were so impressive, with such exceptional performance, an order was placed for 100 production aircraft.
(3) The order was cancelled, because it was felt other types of aircraft were needed more.
