Weren't they a Polish made aircraft and wasn't the manufacturer called Short? A number of local cargo haulers used them as well as commuter airlines. When I was taking flying lessons I saw them critters all the time. Don't vote knothead, it only encourages them. Anonymous "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."

What is this Frankenstein's monster of an airplane? P75 Eagle. Yep. The P-75 airframe used the outer wing panels of the Curtiss P-40, the tail unit of the Douglas A-24/Dauntless, and landing gear of the Vought F4U Corsair. The engine was located in the fuselage behind the pilot, similar to the layout of the Bell P-39. ===================== Boots were made for walking Winds were blowing change Boys fall in the jungle As I Came of Age
