Stout "Cootie" (real prototype)
Bill Stout was a man of many talents and many designs. Over the course of three decades, he designed (and sometimes built) many unconventional aircraft, and yet he will mostly be remembered for the Ford Trimotors which he designed and supervised, and which don't even carry his name... Stout didn't wait for Ford to make a name for himself, though. As early as 1918, he built two highly unconventional prototypes, the Batwing and the Cootie. Since no clean three-view arrangements of these existed, I recreated them, although the colors are pure invention and must be seen as artistic license.
