2. Administrators Jabo Posted January 17, 2022 2. Administrators Posted January 17, 2022 Been at this a while now, but I think I may have it - Breda Ba.88 Lince? Has an unenviable spot in the 'Worst Aircraft of WW2' list... EDIT Bugger...beaten to the punch 1 Quote

BluBear Posted January 17, 2022 Author Posted January 17, 2022 You are both correct, but Sid just pipped you to the post by a minute it seems Jabo! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breda_Ba.88_Lince A good looking bird, but utterly flawed; as soon as they started adding armour and weapons to it, barely able to get airborne apparently.

Goodyear Inflatoplane One wonders if the pilot was equipped with a "top-up tube" should an inflight lack of inflation be detected... Tower: "November Romeo, did you declare an emergency?"

1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted January 18, 2022 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 18, 2022 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." 2 Quote
