Getting Inspired… from Vintage Aviation Photography Blog by John Slemp | Three years ago I walked into a small aviation supply store, and it literally changed my life. It's a small store, with advertisements provided by various vendors tacked up on the wall, and clean, functional, but very ordinary shelves. The products are neatly arranged and the florescent light makes it easy to read the small tags under each item. Otherwise, it's pretty much a "plain jane" customer area. To be honest, I can't even remember why I went in, as I'm not yet a pilot, or an aircraft owner…

Martin “Mighty Midget” from The Unwanted Blog by admin
In 1952, the Martin Company produced a design for a single-seat ground attack plane. Check that… a single *couch* ground attack plane. It didn;t have a seat, as the pilot lay prone. The result was a plane of remarkably small frontal section… and remarkably small overall dimensions. The Mighty Midget was designed to be a small, tough, cheap proto-A-10, able to dish out a truckload of industrial strength whoopass; small, fast and nimble enough to evade enemy fire; and tough enough to take whatever did hit it…
