PZL P.11 and P.24

Northrop P-61 (okay, it's arguable)

Fokker D.8

The Russians also had an oddball fighter that was a biplane for landing and
takeoff but retracted the lower wing into the upper wing for cruise and
combat. It was pretty vulnerable during the retraction process . . .

Oh, just the last time that I looked at an F-14, F-15, F-111 or F-18.
Ok, the -18 is maybe a little closer to a mid-wing like the F-16, but I
believe the wing is still above the CG of the airplane and that is what
defines a high wing to me.


OK, change "high wing" to "wing over your head" and my point is still
valid.... I believe all of the above have the wing out of the pilots
vision....



Whether jet fighters are high wing or midwing is an interesting
question...
But how many high wing /piston/ fighters were made[1]?
