This one flew over last Wednesday
They Built them or rather converted them to this configuration years ago here in Sarasota and the Enforcer was derived from a couple of these, though the version in the museum picture is the Piper version the Cavalier model looked a bit different

and sounded even stranger.

Not Dragonfly. smile

This company also made a parasol wing aircraft of the twenties with the same name.

You sure? While the prototype airframes had a different name, I was under the distinct impression that it was to enter service as the Dragonfly HC.7 with 24 existing FAA WS-51 being upgraded to this standard - this not happening was contributory to the abandonment of the project.

Yes...not the Dragonfly as a civil production aircraft.

I have seen one of these in the markings of the Aviacao Naval Brasiliera.

Drat! That might have given it away.

I think JAMF knows... yep
