Just got home from work. Good thing I recently stumbled upon a warbird that I'd never heard of before....

What aircraft?

1) it is a low wing monoplane with fixed landing gear
2) production aircraft used a 115hp engine
3) it required precise piloting

Me, me, me.... Wait, I'm typing with one (and that the left) hand for a while. Maybe I'd best lay back for a while. It was a cute little plane, though. Thanks; Ernie P.

PT-19 is NOT what I was thinking of...

What aircraft?

1) it is a low wing monoplane with fixed landing gear
2) production aircraft used a 115hp engine
3) it required precise piloting
4) in addition to its primary role, it was used as reconnaissance and improvised ground attack plane

1. Ground attack.

2. Two engines.

3. Piston engines.

4. Only prototypes built.

5. Although the prototypes performed as well as or even better than expected, the order was cancelled. One reason was that the engines were used in another aircraft that was considered more important.

That's it! Probably would have been a terrific plane, but they needed the engines for B-29s.

You're up.

Wow. I didn't expect to win this quickly!

OK, here's a weird one.

1. Twin engined monoplane.

2. In the 1930s, one characteristic of this aircraft's deployment surpassed all other aircraft of its type.
