Back in the WW-I and WW-II eras, most aircraft where tailwheel instead of what we currently refer to as "conventional" landing gear... One issue with tailwheel steering aircraft is that if not handled correctly when landing, a ground loop can occur (which will likely have to visiting parts of the airport that you never had any intention of visiting)... I remember seeing a tailwheel trainer that had been built back then that had very short wings so that it could not get airborne, but still enough horizontal stabilizer to make it susceptible to crosswind induced ground loops...
