is it to be assumed that one of the guess's prior to your last clue are not correct?

Paul,
He only needs to check once each 24hrs so maybe he hasn't gotten around to it. You can keep guessing, Given his clues it does point at the Buffalo but it might be something a bit more obscure.

Sparky got it, I think you got my last one too....Brewster F2A Buffalo

The Buffalo had a Wright R-1820-22 Cyclone engine and won a competition against the Grumman F4F Wildcat in 1939 to become the U.S. Navy's
first monoplane fighter aircraft was one of the first U.S. monoplanes with an arrestor hook and was obsolete because unstable and overweight,
especially when compared to the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero.  The Soviets tried lightening the plate but didn't seem very effective.

That is one truly fugly airplane.  IMO, Grumman also made a lot of fugly airplanes.

Lol ya I don't know why someone would design something so huge and rugid with little wings for your life to rely on.
It isn't a plane you hear much about or see though that's for sure.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
Grumman was going to make their planes out of concrete but they found out steel was heavier!





I flew both these.... Drumstick with wings or they got the pointy part at the wrong end....
They always brought me back.....
