Ed Heinemann
IIICorps:
Ed Heinemann is a hero of mine. He had a hand in some famous airplanes: A-20, A-26, the Ted Smith (Rockwell) Aero Commander (which shows a strong A-26 resemblance), the A-1, and of course, the A-4. My favorite quote of his:
"Simplicate and build-in lightness."
Is the airplane in your icon a P-47 with a counter-rotating liquid-cooled engine? (XP-47H)?
