The very rare captured Payen Pa22 with Luftwaffe markings at the Villacoublay. Air Base, France. 1942. The Payen PA-22 was a French experimental aircraft designed by Nicolas Roland Payen. The aircraft had an unconventional design: it had a set of delta wings, in front of which were a set of short conventional wings.
