Frenchs had a tendence to build very "advanced on time" things (cars like Ami 6/8,or buildings like Carles de Gaulle Airport),and on the other hand bizarre things like some aircraft and trains with rubber wheels, and a plethora of such things.
BTW I owed 2 Ami-8 and is a very nice little car...
You can see the film Alas Argentinas is a film where is shown part of the argentinian aircraft design and construction ,and has coments on the work the Horten brothers acomplished in Argentine.
