OK...thanks Ken.

American.
Known for gliders (we talking military gliders?).
Dabbled with other aircraft.
WWII.

Blind stab like Reg but maybe a Chase paper project?

Do you have Hesham's phone number?

Tell me something Ken, are you trying to work and monitor your challenge at the same time?

Does that mean if we annoy you more you're more likely to get frustrated and hand out big clues to get rid of us?

Yes!

No, it just means you won't always get quick answers
maybe a Chase paper project?
Not a Chase design.
American or US of American?
Its from the US.
Known for gliders (we talking military gliders?).
Dabbled with other aircraft.
We are talking military gliders. I don't believe they ever produced a powered aircraft.

You need to think this one through...if the manufacturer has never produced a powered aircraft........???????
