	This is a fantastic idea for a quiz, and obviously took some effort for alternate names, but I've noticed a few missing: Curtis (Curtis-Wright), Fairchild, Hughes Aircraft, Avro Canada (Victory), there are probably others missing as well.

	Thanks for commenting. WW2DB has "Curtis-Wright" spelled with two "S"s, as does curtisswright.com , so I'm not sure whether or not to include the alternate spelling. WW2DB omits the others you mention. 1) "Fairchild Aviation Corporation" will be added shortly. 2) As best as I can find, Avro Canada - Victory Aircraft only built other companies' designs. If this quiz also named every company that assembled aircraft, it would also have to include Ford, GM, and an untold number of others which I'd dread having to track down. 3) It seems that Hughes Aircraft Company only built experimental aircraft during WW2, which is likely why it was omitted from WW2DB (along with the Horten Brothers). For that reason, I'll remove Bachem from this quiz, since their Ba349 Natter never became operational.

	I also rephrased the introductory question to "Can you name the primary manufacturers of aircraft which were operational in WW2?", to hopefully clarify things a little.

	Good quiz. Hoever some are missing, such as Avia(built B.534), Breda(Ba64 and Ba65), Reggiane (owned of caproni), Flettner(biult german helicopters), Gothaer Waggonfabrik [aka gotha, and horton] (Built many gliders and the experimental Ho229) , Kyūshū(built a few japanese aircafrt), SAAB(built numerous swedish aircraft), and Yakolev (Built the Yak series of fighters). Chance Vought should just be Vought, considering, chance vought is a Vought division. You should accept MiG for Mikoyan-and-Gurevice.

	Thanks. Avia - added... Breda - is already included as "Societa Italiana Ernesto Breda"... Chance Vought should just be Vought - both names are known and accepted. Wikipedia uses both on its F4U Corsair page and elsewhere... Flettner - added... Gothaer Waggonfabrik - added... Kyūshū - added... MiG for Mikoyan-and-Gurevice (sic) - added... Reggiane - is already included as "Officine Meccaniche Reggiane SpA"... SAAB - since sweden was (officially) neutral during ww2 and the model 17 & 18 never fought, i'm not sure that their planes qualify as "operational in ww2"... Yakolev (sic) - is already included under correct spelling "Yakovlev"...
