Stumbled my way into a post worthy spotting today at a plane and car show. Didn’t get to talk to the owner, but someone knowledgable said it was late 30s early 40s. Kid also said it’s specialized for short take offs and landings…. No kidding. The thing jumped right up in the air easiest of the day.
