Thoughts on the Dewoitine D.376?

[Admiral Beez]

Try taking a wardrobe apart and then putting it back together.

These chaps have their work cut out for them.

We'd need to compare them to the biplanes of the time. For example, when the precursor D.371 (and for that matter the parasol PZL P.11) first flew the Brits were flying the Fairey Flycatcher, the USN the Curtiss F11C Goshawk and the IJN the Nakajima A1N. I give the Dewoitine strong odds.

The PZL P.11 was by no means a "parasol" design. It was a shoulder mounter gull-wing.

But I digress, I should be writing on the single-seat naval fighters with folding wings.

Well, the Skua was pretty darn close...
