  1. As a retired airline pilot and a current private and ultralight pilot, I have always had an affinity for the incredibly slow wire-nest multiple-airfoil aircraft of the pioneering era. Just imagine if they had placed the pilot at the center of lift of the Floh (right between the wings) instead of placing the cockpit in an area of absolutely no forward visibility!

  2. The 'left-spinning' Finnish Swastika (blue on a white background?) is an interesting contrast to the 'right-spinning' German Black Swastika. Underestimate the Finns at your own peril!

  3.  @singleproppilot , absolutely correct. These pioneering days must have been "interesting" for the designers of the day. I currently own a 1987 ultralight (Avid Flyer) that has the main fuel tank right in front of the pilot, competing for space with the instrument panel but, then again, I do not have to worry about flying tracer bullets.. Also, the materials used in my Avid Flyer are quite advanced, compared to what they had at the beginning of the last century.

  4. The Piranha configuration was apparently more like the Swedish Viggen than the later JSAS39 Gripen.
