Monoplanes with inverted gull wings and fixed wheel spats

[Admiral Beez]

We all know the Stuka...

...but here are some other monoplanes with inverted gull wings and wheel spats.

Supermarine 224

Hamburger Flugzeugbau Ha 137

Mitsubishi A5M (prototype), or is this a Mitsubishi Ka-14?

Nakajima Ki-8 (failed attempt at two seat fighter)

 

[Hardlydank]

The only other plane I could find that meets these specs is the Klemm 35.

Bzzzzzzzt!

Sorry, it had rearward retracting gear with oversized fairings. The fairings served as the dive brakes, with the aircraft lowering its landing gear before commencing its dive.

Ok...it doesn't have wheel spats but surely floats count, right? Blohm & Voss Ha 139:

Yes the form factor was first demonstrated in 1932 with the fixed gear Loire Nieuport LN.140 which developed into the LN401-411 series. The Stuka first flight was after the LN.140. Stuka came second.
