A Ju 88 and Heinkel Ill, captured German aircraft, at RAF Northolt, G/C Ernest A. McNab's RCAF 1 Sqn Fighter Station. They were inspected by the King and Queen during their visit to the station. The He 111 was formerly 1H-EN of II/KG26 and is here still carrying the badge of KG26, just visible behind the propeller. It force-landed 09-Feb-1940 with minor damage on open moorland at North Berwick Law on the south side of the Firth of Forth after combat with a Spitfire of 602 Sqn. It was flown by the RAF until 10-Nov-1943 when it was destroyed at Polebrook. The pilot took avoiding action when he saw a Ju 88 landing from the opposite end of the same runway, but spun-in after stalling. Seven of the eleven personnel on board perished. DND photo.

A step on the way from the P-36 to the P-40. The 13 YP-37s proved troublesome and the type did not go into production. 38-474 was passed to NACA which used it for research. It survived until 1946. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

About 20 Y-1s were built. The aircraft was response to a 1934 competition for a safe and practical aircraft. A pair were supplied to the US Navy for drone development. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution
