Most of the old WWII bombers and fighters fit into this category, too.

In which category do the *new* WWII bombers and fighters fit?


Apparently, Experimental Exhibition:

I know the guy who runs the operation, and he said that they came *this* close
to an Experimental Amateur-Built certification. When the FAA heard the DAR was
going to issue Ex/Am they stepped in to prevent it.

This is not quite as far-fetched as one might initially think. The planes are
being built for money, yes, but much of the labor is volunteer. As in
"education and recreation." There's a lot of retired types from the various EAA
chapters hanging around there....
