RWD-5bis - Polish aircraft of the 30's

[edmoore235]

Any one know of a aircraft similar in performance to the RWD-5bis that was flown over the Atlantic from Senegal to Brazil - 27 April 1933. The flight was solo and the plane was very tiny!! A record that would be a challange to fly in 2011.... thanks in advnace.

The plane that comes to mind that would be a comparable aircraft would be Milton Shupes de Havilland PussMoth. The look very much alike, from the same time period. Even the Wikipedia page on the RWD-5bis lists the Puss Moth as being a comparable aircraft.
