During WWII the German plant of International Harvester built a Wood Gas
fueled F12.

Assuming they filled the plane for a gas plant on the ground ?

Thusfar, most of the berries on my property are wild Wineberries, any
the only "cultivation" they get is pruning, and moving plants which have
taken root where I don't want them, but I'm branching out.

I've got a few young blueberry bushes (Tophat & Pink Lemonade), 3
Carmine Jewel cherries (which are supposed to be a dwarf/shrubby
variety), and just got 22 red currant bushes from my girlfriend's
parents. I expect most of the red currants to produce berries next
year, but the blueberries and cherries are probably 2 or 3 years off
from any appreciable harvest.

Other than that, there are some wild grapes on the property, from which
I made some tasty jelly last year, and a few wild cherry trees, one of
which is small enough to pick from (but didn't fruit this year).
