Yes we are developing autogyro that was in a service of many european countries, including UK, Germany and Italy. And it was built by license from Italy

I hope to get it in release. Flyable. Two seater.

Russians also used own autogyro A-7... and someone also started it in the past for Il-2, but not finished.
A7 used in a Battle for Moscow.

No more crack for you.

That 47G post-dates the Korean War (the fuel tanks are the give-away). The H-13 didn't appear until after WWII. Project Galba could feature Bell H-13/HTL, Sikorsky H-5/HO3S-1, HO5S-1, H-19/HRS and Hiller H-23s.
