Comment:
In the 1930ﾒs, Mitchell assisted Hawley Bowlus
on the prototype BA-100 Baby Albatross and in
the 1970ﾒs was the designer of the ultralight
Mitchell Wing, U-2 and P-38. The Nimbus series
represents the other end of the spectrum. The
Nimbus III was developed in 1956 from the
earlier I and II models. He produced nine kits,
of which four were completed. The prototype
Nimbus III has a Gottingen airfoil and
considerably less performance. |
