Sorry, not the Aristocraft II. The mystery aircraft was not American made. Its development was terminated due to WW.II.

Sorry, not a Tipsy BC. I think only one example of the mystery aircraft was built.

Sorry, not a Koolhoven nor a Fokker. The company did have a brief affiliation with Koolhoven before its dissolution.

Sorry, not the N.V.I. F.K.31. It is a two-place aeroplane, but not a fighter.

Planegill is correct. The De Schelde S 20 first flew in the Spring of 1940. You have control.

Well.. I'm very humbled kind sirs, but careful study of Mel's very comprehensive list shows I was upstaged in 2006 with the Air Tractor, so feeling a bit flat now, However, to compensate, thought you would enjoy this....





No I have a real one - this is quite close to me for personal reasons, but probably a bit simple. Don't think it has been done - sorry it's a bit small
