LOL K+
What an idea. Might have to try that on a frog plane. Put the wings on the top and bottom. Have the pilot facing the rear so he can see who he is retreating from. A big giant rubber band to spin the prop. hehehe

Bingo!
The Vampire was a first generation jet fighter which saw service in the immediate post-war period with Royal Air Force front-line fighter squadrons in the United Kingdom and Germany, followed by further service with the Royal Auxiliary Air Force.
Work on the design of the DH100 began in May 1942 and the prototype made its first flight on 20 September 1943. Originally called the Spider Crab it was re-named Vampire when ordered into production for the Royal Air Force. The first aircraft did not become available until 1945 and the Vampire did not enter service until the early summer of 1946.
The Vampire F3 was a long-range version of the basic F1, with a re-designed tail unit. On 14 July 1949 six Vampire 3s of No.54 Squadron became the first ever jet aircraft to fly across the Atlantic under their own power.
This small unsophisticated aircraft, of relatively unusual design, was viewed with great fondness by many pilots who nicknamed it the ‘aerial kiddy car’.

I may be wrong possibly.
I think some were carrier based and used by Americans. Some seeing action against migs in Korea. Mig was a better plane but a Vampire shot down a mig in the first jet to jet kill. Some Tuskeegee airman(that I met) flew them too.
Then again I could be wrong and have to check up my facts. I was a boxer and was punched in the head a lot of times, so I got an excuse.
Maybe it was the F-9. |
