You are both correct, but Sid just pipped you to the post by a minute it seems Jabo!

A good looking bird, but utterly flawed; as soon as they started adding armour and weapons to it, barely able to get airborne apparently. Breda_Ba88.jpg

Hah! Goodyear Inflatoplane

One wonders if the pilot was equipped with a "top-up tube" should an inflight lack of inflation be detected...

Goodyear is great at making tires, but they may have taken this experimental project a bit too far. The all-fabric inflatable aircraft was designed as a rescue plane that could be dropped to downed pilots behind enemy lines. The project was cancelled by the army, because they couldn't find a "valid military use for an aircraft that could be brought down by a well-aimed bow and arrow."
