These cutaways look very impractical. I wonder how many ppl just fell out when the plane was banking.

These look like they would’ve all very quickly become incredibly outdated, if they weren’t already by the time they started flying. The only one that looks remotely ready for World War II is the Dewoitine D.513, and that’s still very much the prototype for what’s to come, not the polished products that the British, Americans, Japanese, and Germans would be building by 1940.

Neat read on this plane (I think the 142 is supposed to be 143. I can’t find any references to 142)

What a fascinating time in aircraft design. It’s like the Permian explosion, but with airplanes.
