The Airmaster may be the one. I think the company had to traded down.
Uncle
France was very unhappy when he lost his staggerwing. I don't think he
would be
unhappy to have to fly a Bobcat.

Airmaster, 4 place full cantilever high wing, 145hp or 165hp warner round
engine and could do almost 1 mph per hp. An outstanding airplane in both
looks and performance.

The Bobcat was not around in the '30s.

But it WAS around in the 40s. Ever hear of the UC-78 "Bamboo Bomber?" I
think that the uncle would not have been too happy trading a Staggerwing
for a BB. They did not have full-feathering props, so "twin-engine
reliability" became "twin-engine liability."
