This One is for the Kids from Av8rdan's World of Flying by Dan Pimentel
If you have kids and those kids like airplanes, then they are going to LOVE being introduced to Duggy and his friends. In case you've never heard of Duggy, – the coolest DC-3 on the planet – here's the 411 from duggy.com:

It was during these months each year that Mitch perfected his style of illustration and story-telling. As an adult Mitch went on to become a creative director at several advertising agencies.

Leopoldoff Colibri - romantic, obscure, and very French (or is that, Russian?) from Shortfinals's Blog by shortfinals
Sometimes you find something that surprises you - immensely. It is rather like panning for gold, and coming up with a huge rough diamond. At Abingdon, during an early phase of the GVFWE event, I came across this pretty aircraft; it was rather like some Malagasy fishermen hauling up their nets and finding a coelcanthe (Latimeria chalumnae).
The genesis of the Leopoldoff is shrouded in the mists of the Bolshevik Revolution. It is said that the plans of the original aircraft were drawn up prior to 1917 by E.T.S. Leopoldoff, who, when the Imperial Russian regime fell, hurriedly left the country. Like many other Russian emigres, he ended up in Paris ...
