Spanish Primary trainer

I am an avid collector of Flight Manuals and Pilots Notes, and have been collecting and studying these for nearly 50 years (half a century!) Generally speaking most are in the English language but some are not. The most recent additions are Spanish, one for the CASA Bu-1311 which is a well known type, and one for the INTA EE-4. There is a rough drawing of it, and it looks rather like a de Havilland Chipmunk with a rounded rudder. The few illustrations are headed HM-1, and it appears that this was the original designation. Google could not show me a photograph of the type, so I would like some brave soul to post any pictures of it they may have, along with any information. Thank you.

I.N.T.A aircraft

According to ‘The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft’ entry on I.N.T.A which is Spain’s Instituto Nacional de Tecnia Aeronautica which had no production facilities but whose designs were built by Aeronautica Industrial sa (AISA).
The I.N.T.A aircraft comprise a small family of lightplanes,the I.N.T.A H.M.1 of 1943 a mixed structure and fabric-covered two seat primary trainer. No mention of EE-4 in the article but who knows what was happening in Spain in the early forties! By 1948 I.N.T.A was only designing gliders. Sorry only a photo of the H.M.7 a four seat tourer version of the H.M.1 is in the volume.
