    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.

            • 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?

                      • 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".

                        • 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! :P
