I know, iknow, they are not but asking is for free... , i like this quiz. (what is the first price...)]

#1 Vultee XA-41
US close air support fighter aircraft. Originally the XA-41 was intended as a dive fighter, only one exemplar was built. Since the first flight did not take place until February 1944, the order was cancelled.

#2 Tokyo Koku Ki-107
The Tokyo Koku Ki-107 was a Japanese military training aircraft for the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force. The Ki-107 was a wooden-built low-wing two-seat monoplane with an open cockpit. Powered by a Hitachi Hatsukatse Ha-47 (Ha-11 inline piston engine it first flew in October 1943. Only 29 had been delivered by the end of the war.

#3 Supermarine Baby (also called the Supermarine N.1B Baby)
First World War fighter aircraft that was the earliest example of a single-seat flying boat fighter to be built in the United Kingdom. When it first flew in February 1918 it was the smallest and fastest flying boat then in existence. But the Admiralty decited to order another plain.

#4 SNCASO SO.8000 Narval
The SNCASO SO.8000 Narval (English: Narwhal) was a French carrier-based strike fighter designed by Sud-Ouest in the late 1940s. The French Navy (Marine nationale) ordered two prototypes in 1946 and they made their maiden flights three years later. They were plagued by aerodynamic problems and unreliability issues with their piston engines. The aircraft proved to be slow, lacking in lateral and longitudinal stability and unsuitable for carrier operations; it did not enter production.

#5 Tachikawa Ki-94
The Tachikawa Ki-94 was a single-seat fighter-Interceptor aircraft project undertaken by the Tachikawa Aircraft Company and to be operated by the Imperial Japanese Army. The project refers to two aircraft designs: the Ki-94-I and the Ki-94-II, both of which did not advance beyond the mock-up and prototype stage respectively.

It is said that Nazi officers given the Tatra during the 1940's referred to it as "Czechoslovakia's Secret Weapon) as so many got themselves into trouble, ie Dead, whilst driving it. The heavy V8 right at the back gave it "a Sting in the Tail".

However, Tatra also had a legal dispute with Volkswagen, because Tatra had a patent on the principle, air-cooled motor in the rear of the vehicle and rear-wheel drive and after the end of the war, according to Wikipedia, VW paid Tatra a fine, because of the Beetle.

It never occurred to them that they were the reasons that their husbands drank in the first place.

I think that poster would have had the opposite effect than what was intended. :D

#4 and #5, I haven't the foggiest idea what they are, but those were the days when cars looked like cars. I want to say 'Prague' for number 4, I think it's from that neck of the woods. But as for number 5, I'd have to phone a friend... :icon_tfno:"Hello, is that @bobinder ?"
