I see no real point in the L2D3, since it's production line ends in 1945, and the (current) earliest game world starts in 1950.

Well there are several pre-1950 airplanes existed in AE though... the original purpose was to provide used airplanes at start if i am not mistaken, but not sure if it still continues until today (

There are plans to add pre 50s aircraft as I have a few with data in there, so there is merit to this request.

Just need to get a 1920 to 2050 world going or so.
