| Nobody ever built canvas airframes,

They did however build "inflatable canvas airframes" in the 1950's and
60's. Try a search on the ML Utility (RAF serials XK776, XK784 and
XK781) or the Goodyear GA-33/GA-447.


Nope that was an inflatable wing with a gondola including the
cockpit and engine slung beneath and not even its most ardent
supporter called it a fighter.
