Auto Credit Based on Jundroo's P-51 Mustang

The Reaubidoux Re-239 'Darwin' was designed for a military requirement that needed a fighter that could function as a FAC plane and a recon plane. The Darwin proved unstable in pitch, and had a bad tendency to pitch down on takeoff. The fighter was declined, and the military took the F-22 instead.
