Well, heck — imagine my surprise today when I discovered that my brilliant idea to have the Blackhawks fly around in unusual prototype aircraft . . . was actually 80 years old! 
I Googled "Blackhawk Squardon aircraft" and got these examples of what the guys actually flew in the comic books.

And if that wasn't enough to take the wind out of my sails, I discovered that it's an actual prototype by the Grumman aircraft company, created in 1938!
Behold! The Grumman XF5F Skyrocket!
Man oh man, would I ever love to write a script for a Blackhawk movie with aircraft like these (and the others I posted above).

| ^^ That's certainly an odd-looking airplane. "Pardon me, sir, but I believe part of your aircraft is missing!" |
