Anybody up to North American's unknown little number?
They did sell them to Peru (NA-50), and the Thai ordered some (NA-68) but they were seized by the Government in 1941 before export.

But whenever they talked about him, they always had a slight smile on their faces.. And that, perhaps, maybe your answer.

Well, they both are essentially North American Aviation designs. The Boomerang was based on the CAC Wirraway, which was in turn based on the North American NA-16.
