I know the IL-2 Stormovik had those characteristic long wheel wells under the wings that were big enough for a person to sit in. They seem to have used that a couple of times to pick up stranded pilots from crashed aircraft like this. Of course, you had to trust your pilot that he would not take off and then pull the 'retract landing gear' switch in a distracted moment out of pure habit.
Reminds me of one of my favorite airplanes from the 50's
While looking for images for the C. 205 Veltro, I had found this weird variation that appears to carry 3 passengers.
The thing is called 'Doppelraab': double raven because as improbably as it can, it was actually a two-seat trainer. So how did they get one student and one instructor into this little bubble?
And yes, the instructor had working foot pedals tom operate the rudder. The one thing the aircraft didn't have was an intercom because..... no need with a seating arrangement like that
Then again, this were 'die Wilden Fünfziger", Germany's wild fifties. Apparently flying like that is not that unusual compared to how the people were sitting in the miniature cars they were driving back then.
The image isn't loading for me.

Heh.
I watched Scott Manly 'Fly' a Typhoon class sub back in the day with Kerbal Space Program.
Killercraft II
Borrowed some segments and ideas from the F22, the Killercraft would be about one third smaller and have folding wings for better storage in the Race starships.
Weaponry would be two pods with 9 air to air rockets each and a revolver cannon in a caliber similar to a 20mm.

A pair of Spitfires for TL-191
Here's a Mk V Spitfire operating for the Confederate Air Force based out of Norfolk, circa Autumn of 1942.
And a Mk II Spitfire as flown by the 2nd Free Belgian Air Corps based near Kerpen in Western Germany, circa December 1941.
