F1F-2 Buchon / FMA I-01-IIB
F1E Buchon / ENAER I-01-IIB

Developed from the standard I-01-II this improved variant is for the dive-bomber/ fighter requirement with bomb-racks and dive-brakes. The version built by ENAER lacks the ventral armour originally proposed to the FMA. The FACH has ordered 144 I-01-IIBs for delivery across 1938 and 1939. I-01-IIBs are replacing Spartan F-9 Storms, which are being surplused out of the Air Force (many being sold or given to aviation clubs) or assigned to training roles.

Notes
The ENAER F4E-3 is largely identical to the American F4U-4 Corsair, with ENAER working with Chance-Vought to improve the preceding Corsair design. Like the preceding F4E-2, ENAER built over 85% of the aircraft using indigenous development, although some difficult-to-manufacture parts were sourced from the US or Atlantis, The F4E-3 was highly regarded by the Armada, but the FACh ended up with first priority for ENAER's production, ordering ninety-six planes in late 1941.
