  1. The NA-50 Torito (Spanish slang for “little bull”), built for Peru, was a single-seat fighter design based on the two-seat Basic Combat Demonstrator NA-44. Peru purchased seven aircraft for the Peruvian Air Force, with deliveries completed in May 1939. They took part in the Ecuadorian–Peruvian War of July 1941, supporting Army of Peru ground forces. destinationsjourney.com/histor #NorthAmericanNA50 #Torito #PeruvianAirForce #aviation #airplane #aircraft #aeroplane #fighter #fighterplane

    "Ornithocheirus mesembrinus" — 2008

    Ornithicheirus mesembrinus (previously Tropeognathus), was a very large pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Brazil. The body in this reconstruction is based mostly on the related Coloborhynchus.
