"George" is the name of my New Year's baby 2023: Kawanishi N1K1-J Shiden /"George"
The fingers of one hand are enough to list the representatives of an extremely rare group of aircraft: those that have been converted from a seaplane to a land plane! If one narrows this group even further to those constructions that have [...]
