right. it's so easy when you've got a point of reference, isn't it? :w00t:

[Havell]

Actually, I didn't use the point of reference. I looked up the Storch and found it was involved in the last dogfight, but I couldn't find the other plane. I found the Cub while I was Googling "dogfight last WWII" (Microsoft Flight Simualtor site).

After nearly six weeks, a1s gets both answers in one day! Yes, the American plane (the victor in the dogfight) was a Piper J-3/L-4 "Cub." (As far as I can tell, J-3 and L-4 were the civilian and military designations of the same plane.)

The score:
a1s: 3
Sebatianos: 2
Havell: 2
BeefontheBone: 1

The next question is forthcoming, as soon as I think of it.

[Fruit Pie Jones]

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to make sure anyone who is interested sees the new question.

Question #8: Which company produced this sweet ride?

[Sebatianos]

It looks very much lite a Citroën (the design, the wheels...)

[a1s]

VolksWagen. for no reason at all.

[Havell]

General Motors?

Maybe one of their new energy saving prototypes.

I'm also going to guess Reliant because of the three wheels, but as the two wheels are at the front, not the back, I'm probably wrong on that one.

[Fruit Pie Jones]

Nope, nope, and nope. No hints yet, so don't even ask. :bleh:

[Havell]

Morgan?

Purely saying this because of the layout of the three wheels. As Morgan makes sports cars it's a pretty silly suggestion, but oh well, it's as good a guess as any.
