The Anatra Anamon was a Russian prototype monoplane fighter built by the A.A. Anatra factory in World War I.

Design

The Anamon was a single-seat monoplane fighter of slim plywood fuselage and mid-placed trapezoid wing with cut out viewing aperture. The landing gear was similar to that designed for the Anatra D. [1]

Test flights of the Anatra Anamon began June 16, 1916, but pilots complained about the 'long' (150m) takeoff and landing Roll as well as steep gliding. The deep pilot's position also was not appreciated. Improvements were suggested, but after minor damage such plans were axed.

The Gregor FDB-1 was a Canadian biplane fighter, designed in 1938 by Michael Gregor and manufactured by Canadian Car and Foundry. Despite having some advanced design features such as flush rivetted all-metal construction and a retractable undercarriage, the final generation of biplane fighters was being supplanted by monoplanes and the Gregor FDB-1 was obsolete before it flew. Despite the Royal Canadian Air Force's desperation for modern fighters, the sole example remained unsold and was eventually lost in a fire in 1945. The Gregor FDB-1's model designation stood for Fighter Dive Bomber indicating its intended roles.

The Gotha Go 149 was a military aircraft developed in Germany in the mid-1930s for training fighter pilots. It was a conventional low-wing cantilever monoplane with tailwheel undercarriage, the main units of which retracted inwards. The wing was wooden, while the monocoque fuselage was metal. Two prototypes were constructed, and an armed version was also proposed as a light home-defence fighter (Heimatschutzjäger) armed with two 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 17 machine guns, but the Luftwaffe did not purchase either version of the design, and no further examples were built.
