Let me clear something: self-imposed "24-hour rule" is now effective only at "Small arms Quiz". :idea:
For Yugoslav issues I accepted iffig's suggestion to extend it to 48 hours. 8-)
There are no time limits for "Air & Army" (Navy too) stuff; however, if I consider something "easy", you might expect that my quick answer would be "an Antic", rather then "the Edge" one. :wink:

Regards,
Edge / Antic

P.S. I put the new question - enough reluctance - this time don't rush to place an answer. :D

Well, the Curtiss side has only a bitter laugh, since it was the Gumman who won the contract (AD-1) :?

Answer both complete & correct :D (plus kidding as a bonus :lol: )

Well, if Grumman had won the contract, it would be AF-1. Douglas won with the AD-1, the famous Skyraider.

Thank you, Sonny and Cher and the anonymous pilot of the Soviet Hurricane (The Edge's grandfather?).
Now, a close up. What is it ? Be as specific as possible (country, aircraft type and so on).

Yep
More or less the same plane was also known as Vindicator and Chesapeake:

Something tells me that Yuha has the answer, but no idea what after (like new question). :roll:

So this quiz question is not closed yet - B or not to B :D, I'm still wating for the full answer.

(Remember, folks, The Edge is not Sitzkrieg, surrendering the position after a first shot :wink: - even if this shot dispatched the squad leader)

Sikorsky S-43 B? It is unique in being the only twin-fin Baby Clipper.
