Sorry, but no. Maybe this will help. Thanks; Ernie P.


What warbird do I describe?


Clues:

(1) It served both Army and Navy units.

(2) The design was based upon careful study of an enemy fighter.

(3) Many of the design features of the enemy aircraft were carried over into this design.

(4) The fuselage was welded steel tubing.

(5) The wings were fabric on a wooden frame.

(6) The Navy used the plane for carrier operations.

(7) It was the first successful fighter design by the manufacturer, and had much to do with the manufacturer becoming the huge concern it became.

(8) A trainer version was produced.

(9) The first aircraft delivered to the Navy were not equipped with arrestor hooks, so were utilized by the Marine Corps.

(10) One version supported the Marines in China.
