Clipnotes:You'll Never Guess #4/ Commonality

[Clipper]

Here's a new series of "museum pieces" to identify. You'll find they do all share one specific thing in common.....

#1
#2
#3
#4
#5

[Hagar]

The first 3 are by the same designer. I know what they are but not the others.

It's also possible they were the only examples of their type.

Hint. Edit photo's to remove registrations!

The first three I can find: ( And have found)

The 4th I think is a Curtiss although I do not know the exact designation, The last one I'm guessing a Bolton Paul plane

+ I think that the commonality between all is that they never came into full production

[Tweek]

#4 - Kyushu J7W "Shinden"

[Hagar]

#4 - Kyushu J7W "Shinden"

Of course. I should have known that one.

The last one I'm guessing a Bolton Paul plane

Very similar to the Sidestrand but it's an American aircraft in pre-WWII Army Air Corps markings.

I know them all now but I don't know the commonality.

First 3 here.* http://www.koolhoven.com/history/airplanes/koolhoven/
#4 here. http://www.studenten.net/customasp/axl/plane.asp?cat_id=10&ple_id=643&page=0
Last one here. http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/research/bombers/b1-43.htm

*PS. That registration gave the game away.

4 is a Curtiss P-55 Avenger IF it was american, silly me.

I got it slightly wrong. That explains why I couldn't find the exact photo. Never mind, it was near enough for jazz as us musicians used to say.
