Yup...its yours. Don Pratt was killed in Normandy when his glider hit a tree and the jeep in back broke loose and crushed him.

And you are also correct on how Wingate died.

PZL M15 Belfegor

Designed for big Russian farms, this 1970s Polish agro-jet prototype was powered by an AI-25 jet engine. Aviation Museum, Krakow. This amazing Polish ag-plane had only one engine. The engine was the same as used in the Yak-40. It used lots of bleed air to blow the stuff out of the hoppers and in fact is a sound response to a questionable specification/requirement.

Had the photographer not had his name on the picture, I never would have found this aircraft with my usual sources.

Please, another from you Sir. I didn't dig this out from an aviation search, I just looked up the photographer.

Back to you Sir. You always post good questions.

KA, I would have to guess an A29 super tocano.


I'll bet one of those would be a blast to fly! Anyone ever been to "Air Combat" in Texas?
