A better question would be "Is there a bird that doesn't have an
airplane named after it?"


Dodo.


Woodpecker.

In 1951, the Mü10 'Milan' was re-activated from the German Museum in Munich
where the glider had survived the war. Three gliders - a Mü13 reproduction,
the "Spatz" (sparrow) and the "Specht" (woodpecker) - were acquired, later a
Klemm tow plane was added.
