Odem2002 you are the quiz master now!
You have 24 hours to post your clues.
They don't have to be obscure airplanes they can be something more familiar the only requirement is it must be a military airplane.
I always learn something with these..... I remember the Aeronca C-2 but didn't realize that there were more than one manufactures of the flying bathtubs.

Question: What is the definition of a " Military Airplane"

Is it one designed only for use by the military,  or is it an aircraft that was used in a war?

 Hopefully the answer will be BOTH.

I guess military service is that vague enough? I don't think a civilian airplane flown in a war zone would be considered. For instance the plane that was airborne doing flight instruction when the Japs bombed Peal Harbor should be considered.
There are plenty of airplanes to pick from, look at some of the Russian airplanes from WW2? Airplanes I never heard of, yet they were produced by the thousands!

Sparky. That was not what I meant.

During the WW1 and WW2 many civilian aircraft were requisitioned  by the Govt. Painted in Camo, and used by the Military.
They were NOT designed as Military aircraft but played an important role.

 My view is those aircraft should be included.

It was in the rules in the opening post:
"1.The rules are simple it must be a Military airplane that served in one of the worlds military. It can be a transport, bomber or fighter even a glider as long as it was in the inventory of the military."
