The I.Ae.24 Calquin (a Mapudungun word which means Royal Eagle) was a tactical bomber designed and built by the Instituto Aerotécnico (Córdoba) in Argentina in the immediate post-World War II era. Although superficially a look-alike for the de Havilland Mosquito the I.Ae.24 was powered by twin Pratt & Whitney R-1830-G “Twin Wasp” radials giving it a distinct appearance. After an operational career spanning two decades the Calquin was retired.
