FMA IAe 24 Calquin (Royal Eagle). The IAe24 "Calquin" (Royal Eagle) was a two-seat atack figther desined by the FMA (Fabrica Militar de Aviones - Military Aircraft Factory) in 1944 to replace the Douglas A8 bombers of the Argeetine Air Force.

Originally the I.Ae. 24 was also intended to be equipped with Rolls-Royce Merlins but an adequate supply of the powerplants was not possible, consequently Pratt & Whitney R-1830-G “Twin Wasp” radials of 1,050 hp (782.5 kW) were substituted. Performance estimates of a Merlin-powered variant would have made it comparable to the Mosquito but the R-1830-powered prototype was only able to achieve 273 mph (440 km/h). A later prototype, the I.Ae.28 was equipped with Rolls-Royce Merlins but the project was superseded by the more capable I.Ae. 30 "Ñancú"
