Antonov An-2 :  from wikipedia

The Antonov An-2 (Russian nickname: kukuruznik, "maize farmworker", 
inherited from the earlier Polikarpov Po-2; also nicknamed "Annushka" or "Annie") 
is a single-engine biplane utility/agricultural aircraft designed in the USSR 
in 1946. (USAF/DoD reporting name Type 22, NATO reporting name Colt.)

The An-2 is used as a light utility transport, parachute drop aircraft, 
agricultural work and many other tasks suited to this large slow-flying biplane. 
Its slow flight and good field performance make it suited for short, unimproved 
fields, and some specialized variants have also been built for cold weather and 
other extreme environments. The Guinness Book of World Records states that the 
45-year production run for the An-2 was for a time the longest ever, for any 
aircraft, but it was recently exceeded by the Lockheed C-130 Hercules.

Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star :  from wikipedia

The Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star was the first jet fighter used operationally by
the United States Army Air Forces. Designed in 1943 as a response to the German
Messerschmitt Me-262 jet fighter, and delivered in just 143 days from the start
of the design process, production models were flying but not ready for service
by the end of World War II. Designed with straight wings, the type saw
extensive combat in Korea with the United States Air Force (USAF) as the F-80.

America's first successful turbojet-powered combat aircraft, it helped usher in
the "jet age" in the USAF, but was outclassed with the appearance of the
swept-wing transonic MiG-15 and quickly replaced in the air superiority role by
the North American F-86 Sabre. The F-94 Starfire, an all-weather interceptor on
the same airframe, also saw Korean war service. The closely related T-33
Shooting Star trainer would remain in service with the U.S. Air Force and Navy
until the 1970s and many still serve in a military role or and in private hands
in the present day.

Mikoyan-Gurevich Mig-15 :  from wikipedia

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 was a jet fighter developed for the USSR by Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich.

The MiG-15 was one of the first successful swept-wing jet fighters, and it achieved fame in the skies over Korea, where early in the war, it outclassed all straight-winged enemy fighters in daylight.

The MiG-15 also served as the starting point for development of the more advanced MiG-17 which was still an effective threat to supersonic American fighters over North Vietnam in the 1960s.

The MiG-15 is believed to have been the most widely produced jet aircraft ever made, with over 12,000 built.

Licensed foreign production perhaps raised the total to over 18,000.
The MiG-15 is often mentioned along with the North American F-86 Sabre in lists of the best fighter aircraft of the Korean War and in comparison with fighters of other eras.

Chester Jeep :  from wikipedia

The Chester Jeep aka the Chester Special #1 was an air racer built by Art Chester for the 1932 National Air Races. The aircraft once held the world's speed record for aircraft at 237 mph (381 km/h).

The Chester Jeep was named after "Eugene the Jeep" from the Popeye comics of the time. Maximizing the most speed from a small engine, Art Chester later designed the nose and cowling of the P-51 fighter for North American Aviation.

The Jeep was a mid-wing taildragger racer using a Menasco engine. 
The wings were supported with small struts. The Jeep was modified with a new prop, spinner and less sharp angles for the 1934 National Air Races. The aircraft's wings were removed and reinstalled for trailering to air events.

In 1947 the aircraft was retrofitted ("butchered" by some) with an 85 hp (63 kW) engine to meet the power requirement for the Goodyear races.

Mitsubishi F1M2 Type-0 PETE :  from wikipedia

The Mitsubishi F1M2 (Allied reporting name "Pete") was a Japanese reconnaissance floatplane
of World War II. It was the last biplane type of the Imperial Japanese Navy, with 1,118 built
between 1936 and 1944. The Navy designation was "Type Zero Observation Seaplane", not to be confused with the Type Zero Carrier Fighter or the Type Zero Reconnaissance Seaplane.

The F1M was originally built as a catapult-launched reconnaissance float plane, specializing
in gunnery spotting. However the "Pete" took on a number of local roles including
area-defense fighter, convoy escort, bomber, anti-submarine, maritime patrol, rescue and
transport. The type fought dogfights in the Aleutians, the Solomons and several other
theaters. There are no F1M2 Type-0 PETE's left in the world.

The Piper J3 Cub: from wikipedia

The Piper J-3 Cub is a small, simple, light aircraft that was built between 1937 and 1947 by Piper Aircraft. With tandem (fore and aft) seating, it was intended for flight training but became one of the most popular and best-known light aircraft of all time. The Cub's simplicity, affordability and popularity invokes comparisons to the Ford Model T automobile.
The aircraft's standard chrome yellow paint has come to be known as “Cub Yellow” or "Lock Haven Yellow".

The Piper J-3 Cub became the primary trainer aircraft of the CPTP — 75 percent of all new pilots in the CPTP (from a total of 435,165 graduates) were trained in Cubs. By war's end, 80 percent of all United States military pilots received their initial flight training in Piper Cubs. The need for new pilots created an insatiable appetite for the Cub. In 1940, the year before the United States' entry into the war, 3,016 Cubs were built; soon, wartime demands would increase that production rate to one Piper J-3 Cub being built every 20 minutes.

Klemm L25 from Wikipedia

Klemm L.25, later Klemm Kl 25 was a successful German low-winged, cantilevered, light leisure and training aircraft, developed in 1928.
More than 600 aircraft were built, and manufacturing licenses were sold to the United Kingdom and the United States.
The aircraft was developed by Hanns Klemm who used his previous design, the Klemm Kl 20, as a starting point. About thirty different versions of the Kl 25 were made, and these were equipped with engines ranging from 32 kW to 70 kW.
The fuselage was covered with plywood.
Depending on the model, the aircraft's weight was 620 to 720 kilograms, and it had a 10.5 m to 13 m wingspan.
Take-off was achieved at only 50 km/h and the maximum speed was between 150 and 160 km/h.
In relation to similar aircraft of the time, assembly was very easy, and this made it
a very popular aircraft.
According to the sales brochures, only 25% of the engine's power was needed to keep
the aircraft flying, compared to similar-type biplanes which required 50% engine power.

The Hall Bulldog: from air-racing-history.com

This second race plane designed and built by Bob Hall was a beautiful gull wing design. It was a single place speedster which was expected to be the equal of any other ship entered in the Cleveland National Air Races.

The 1932 Thompson Trophy race would be 10 laps around a 10-mile course, Hall was first off the ground and around the scatter pylon, but Doolittle in the Gee Bee R-1 passed him almost at once and began pulling away. In the second lap, Ray Moore dropped out with engine trouble and Hall fell back into sixth place. Jimmy Wedell moved up to second place, Turner third, Haizlip fourth, Gehlbach fifth and Ong brought up the rear. The race ended in that order. Jimmy Doolittle lapped the entire field at least once and roared over the finish line trailing smoke and pulling farther ahead with each revolution of the Gee Bee's eight foot prop. Doolittle's average speed, a new closed-course record, was 252.7 mph. Wedell in second place had 242.5 mph. Bob Hall placed sixth at 215.57 mph. Needless to say, he was a very disappointed young man. Once again the Granville brothers had proved their ideas for fast aircraft were correct.

A short time after the 1932 Cleveland Air Races a disappointed, disillusioned and disgusted Bob Hall dismantled the "Bulldog" so that it would never race again.

Piper Tri Pacer from Wikipedia

The Piper PA-20 Pacer was originally designed as a tailwheel aircraft and thus had
Somewhatlimited forward visibility on the ground and more demanding ground-handling Characteristics.
To help introduce more pilots to easier, safer flying, in 1953 the PA-20 was redesigned and offered as the PA-22 Tri-Pacer with a nosewheel instead of the tailwheel landing gear.
Additionally, the Tri-Pacer offered higher-powered engine options In the form of 150 hp (112 kW) and 160 HP (120 kW) engines, whereas the largest engine Available to the original Pacer had an output of 135 hp (100 kW).
At the time the tricycle Undercarriage became a popular preference and 1953 saw the PA-22 Tri-Pacer outsell the Pacer by a ratio of six to one.
Due to the geometry of the nosewheel installation it is Sometimes referred as the "Flying Milk Stool".
