   1932, Blackburn released the B2. It had all of 120 horsepower, leading edge slots on the upper wing, and ailerons on the lower for nifty handling at low speeds. Ultimately, the government didn’t bite, so the only cutomers ended up being civilian flying schools….until the war, when many were brought into the fold as adjuncts for the RAF.

     @Boomerman Cool shot illustrating one of those nifty little things about shiny metalwork on an aircraft of the era. While it rarely happened, the few times it reflects just right it’s basically invisible from afar

     @Boomerman I like this era because it’s all stuff you could build in your garage today. Sewing, ribbing, riveting, and bolting takes care of a whole lot in these old things.

     @Ariovistus @Boomerman they’re all green now, fiberglass and carbon, aramid too. Not nearly as pretty
