Натолкнулся совершенно случайно на такую вот интересную страничку:
http://www.aviastar.org/air/usa/vought_v-143.php
Подскажите, пожалуйста, как корректно перевести вот это:
The USAAC evaluated the modified prototype on 18 June 1937, but again rejected the aircraft. As no export orders for the fighter - which was also offered with a 525hp Wasp Junior engine as the V-150 - materialised, the sole V-143 prototype was sold to the Japanese Imperial Navy, which assigned it the designation AXV1. Although it was later to be widely alleged that the Mitsubishi A6M Zero-Sen was based on the V-143, there was no truth in such allegations, although Vought's method of undercarriage retraction provided the inspiration for that of the Japanese fighter.
Был таки "зеро" based on the этот самолет или нет?
