The Airmaster may be the one. I think the company had to traded down.
Uncle
France was very unhappy when he lost his staggerwing. I don't think he
would be
unhappy to have to fly a Bobcat.

Airmaster, 4 place full cantilever high wing, 145hp or 165hp warner round

The Bobcat was not around in the '30s.

But it WAS around in the 40s. Ever hear of the UC-78 "Bamboo Bomber?" I
think that the uncle would not have been too happy trading a Staggerwing
for a BB. They did not have full-feathering props, so "twin-engine
reliability" became "twin-engine liability."
