• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

No, not the Bolo or the Dragon, but rather some design studies done by the Fokker Factory before the outbreak of WW2 looking into the possibility of converting these aircraft for military use. Found the photos and drawings recently on a Dutch site.

The DC-3:

Interesting indeed.. but that chin :monkies:

Now we know the Wasserflugzeug was actually done and the benzin-transport is still operating today, but Buffalo uses rubber bladders that are lower for less CofG impact

Personally, the Bolo and this one are not pretty, and we know it wasn't a good plan, but in an emergency...
