Default Name the Plane
This shouldn't take long. But, can RFJ name the magazine and issue in which it was published?

It is Doug Sprengs 'Stormer'. I have the magazine 'somewhere' but I'm betting RFJ will find it before I do, AAM I believe?

Flattop Stormer AM May 1962, so Stormer AM April 1961?

Doug Spreng - my favourite designer. His philosopy seemed to be - look at what everyone else is doing and do the opposite. Below is a short extract from the Stormer article. I hope Cees doesn't read this thread. Take cover
