  1. At a time when more powerful engines were unavalaible, push-pull configuration looked like a good idea, compared to the traditional 2 engines configuration, where, as per the old joke "one engine pulls the aircraft, while the second compensates for the extra drag".😃

  2. The aircraft industry was impressed when they discovered the Fokker D.XXIII at the Salon de Paris. Sleek design, powerful, fast, well armed, it was seen to be a promising heavy fighter. Compared to many designs of the time, it looked very advanced.

  3.  @mikearmstrong8483  The G.1 was impressive, but the D.XXIII, its successor, was also considered by many countries as a potentially good aircraft, the push-pull configuration being seen as a good way to reduce drag.
