Perhaps the four seat, folding wing Percival Proctor, first flown in 1939, with its robust fixed undercarriage is the ideal pick then? Just add an arrestor hook.Hey Admiral Beez,Ideally yes to both folding wings and being able to store aboard a carrier, although it might not be necessary to be stowed in the hangar. It would have to be able to be put out of the way of flight operations in some way, whether on deck or in the hangar.
Passengers, light cargo and dispatches. My original thinking was something heavier, like this Potez 56 landing and taking off from the French carrier Bearn.What is the mission for the COD aircraft? Cargo weight, range, passengers, secondary roles?
But yes, for the smaller jobs the Sea Otter seems ideal. I was hoping to find a use for a land based transport aircraft for the FAA.I would suggest the Supermarine Sea Otter
I like it, a lot, but where do we fix the arrestor hook?Luftwaffe Resource Center - Transports & Utility Aircraft - A Warbirds Resource Group Site
I suspect you could build a CV capable variant of the Arado Ar 232. Power it with four Bristol Hercules engines.
Two of the B-0s were captured by the British at the end of the war. After test flights by Eric "Winkle" Brown, who gave the design excellent marks, they were used by the Royal Air Force on flights between England and Germany after the war.

When I lived in Fredericton, NB Canada the local airport used TBF for water bombers. It was very cool to watch them takeoff.I still vote for the TBF,
