The challenge was not a racer or French.

How come you got it so quick David?
I Goggled "1930s twin piston transport aircraft" and scrolled down to page 7 - try it.

Not a fighter - liason.

Presumably to take vertical loads.

Amazing - there's the Curtiss Kingston! _ 14th row. I dunno mate, I give up on "searches", never seems to work for me. Either I recognise it or I don't.

Yeah, but that would be like a Henschel Hs-126 with an additional strut? I mean why, can't be that heavy?
