USA everyone and their granny building planes

When the war started the military went to all the aviation manufacturers and ordered everything that had wings. There's lots of odd planes from lots of builders who didn't last long after the war. The odd aircraft the government bought many were not even considered combat capable but we need thousands of trainers so trainers most of them became the some for coastal patrol they needed good aircraft for the war so they used these poor aircraft for coastal,patrol if anything really was needed there were front line craft stationed all over along the coast. Some of these non front line craft were used for patrol over the gulf and Bahamas and other duties. Lots of small companies that built small civilian planes got contracts for liaison aircraft and recon. I bet lots of recon pilots were wishing they were in one of the fighters or fast bombers for recon instead of one of the liaison type so slow and fragile. Some of those planes the designs were terrible a few looked good but many the wing designs and aerodynamics but they could fly good enough for whatever the military needed trainers or patrol. Like wow another reason the scrap yards were full. It was amazing how cheap they said you could buy planes after the war as most were sold as scrap as the engines were usual run down and needed a complete overhaul. Many airlines and transport companies bought planes cheap and had the engines replaced. Of course the dc3 c47 ended up in airlines just about every where as well as the Curtis c46 it ended up in a lot of high endurance type of places. As well as the dc4 and later the dc6/7 and the Connie. Then Boeing building the stratoliner and transports based on the b29.
