The Derringer was designed by John W Thorp as a twin
engined derivative of his Thorp T-11 Sky Scooter. It was unusual in that
it was a two seat twin engined aircraft. It was eventually put into
production by the Wing Aircraft Co. which was founded by George Wing who
had been an engineer with North American during World War 11. The Wing
company went bankrupt in 1982. Ten examples survive of which three or
four are possibly airworthy.
