14Kdrs radial engines, had first flown 14 May 1936, and was taken over by Belgium's Aéronautique Militaire on 2 June 1936 for testing and evaluation. Surprisingly, SABCA was contracted to repair the airframe, although no further testing appears to have been done. The airframe was found in a hangar at Evere in May 1940 by German troops who subsequently scrapped it. 4 April Bellanca C-27C Airbus, 32-399, c/n 705, ex-NC18797, of the 2d Transport Squadron, 10th Transport Group, out of Middletown Air Depot, Pennsylvania, suffers forced landing at Kylertown, Pennsylvania, after engine failure, suffering moderate damage. Pilot was Isaac W. Ott. Dropped from records at Middletown in February 1939. 11 April The sole Grumman XF4F-2, Model G-18, BuNo 0383, first flown 2 September 1937, and delivered to NAS Anacostia, Washington, D.C., on 23 December for testing, was plagued by engine overheating and crankshaft failures. Deck handling and catapult trials began at the Naval Aircraft Factory, Philadelphia, on 6 April. An engine stoppage during a simulated deck landing on 11 April led to a rough deadstick forced landing in a Campbell Soup Company farm field, across the Delaware River from Mustin Field, that flipped the aircraft over onto its back. The test pilot, Navy Lieutenant Gurney, was not seriously hurt, but the machine was badly damaged and had to be sent back to the factory for repairs. Grumman built a revised airframe using the damaged prototype as a basis, with improvements, designated the XF4F-3. 14 May First prototype Focke-Wulf Fw 187 V1 Falke, D-AANA, crashes at Bremen, Germany, when test pilot Paul Bauer, having completed test series, makes high-speed run across airfield, pulls up too sharply, stalls, spins in next to the control tower. 28 May The Bristol 146 was built by Bristol to an Air Ministry order for a prototype single-seat eight-gun fighter meeting F.5/34 issued in 1934. The specification further called for an air-cooled engine for overseas use. The Type 146, K5119, incorporated the experience of metal-skinned monoplanes that Bristol had gained with the earlier Type 133, but was quite different in detail. Delivered to Martlesham in April 1938, it came close to meeting the specified requirements, but was not ordered into production. On this date, following an Empire Air Day display at Filton Aerodrome, the sole Type 146, while taxiing, struck a "set-piece" display and was damaged beyond economic repair. It was the last single-engined fighter to be
