No.

The poor old Sioux was a 3 seater. A patient could be carried on each side in a Stokes litter But the exhaust would have caused serious burns to the port side patients feet (At least for the model I flew). All in all, only a partial success in the medivac role.

Expat Canuck · 01-21-2008, 01:24 AM

Ohh this is a stinker, google is not helping me...

glyn · 01-21-2008, 06:03 AM

Sorry guys.

The question was too hard.

The answer is Voisin Aerochir of 1918, developed from the Lbp.X bomber. Aerochir = Aeroplane chirurgical. I'll try to post a photo of it 'in action'.

Now an easy one. Who was the top scoring American fighter pilot whose scores were gained entirely with a foreign Air Force?

Knaur Amarsh · 01-21-2008, 07:25 AM

Would it be Lance C. Wade who flew for RAF?

Right sir
The first person of Indian origin to be awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross?

Albany Rifles · 01-21-2008, 22:04 PM

Clarificatoin please...

From which country was he awarded it??

Knaur Amarsh · 01-22-2008, 05:03 AM

As I said sir,"Indian origin",he was flying for Britain,maybe I should add he is also the lone Indian flying ace till date,and his nephew would later be known as the "Father of Indian Air Force".

Albany Rifles · 01-22-2008, 11:46 AM

I was asking which country awarded him the DFC since both Great Britain and the US have an award by that name...and I believe soem others do as well.

Okay, so an Indian who was awarded the DFC by the Brits, correct?

I have no clue!

Squadron Leader Mujumdar....One DFC from the Indian Air Force and one from the British
