Re: FD Scale Aircraft 8: The Next Generation Easy Search Thr
Haha... unlikely, at least that "soon" part. There are thousands of separate types of aircraft, and if You add variants, users, paint schemes etc. it goes into tens of thousands.
Another thing is, though, that if all of You want to stick to drawing only combat aircraft with limited addition of airliners, while nearly completely omitting sports planes, crop-dusters, pioneer aircraft and the like (not mentioning gliders), then yeah, list of available options is much smaller then.

In 1933 Airspeed Ltd built a small, modern light passenger aircraft (capacity of up to 5 passengers) AS.5 Courier. Prototype was used in an pioneer attempt by Sir Alan Cobham to fly from Great Britain to Australia non-stop, with use of aerial refueling, but unfortunately plane flew only to Malta due to throttle malfunction. Total of 16 were built.
Great Britain, Airspeed AS.5 Courier
Airspeed AS.6 Envoy was designed as up-sized, twin engined development of Courier. First flown in 1934, it was produced in series of 52 and used by multiple operators in Great Britain and abroad, both civilian and military. On 3 June 1937 one of these planes crashed killing gen. Emilio Mola, commander of northern forces Spanish Nationalists in the Civil War. Also, this type featured prominently in 1939 British spy thriller Q Planes (also known as Clouds over Europe) with Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir Ralph Richardson.
Great Britain (Australia, Czechoslovakia, Spain), Airspeed AS.6 Envoy
Envoy was met with significant interest from the RAF that ordered it's modified version AS.10 Oxford for use as multi-engine and bomber crew trainer. Prototype took off in 1937 and total of 8586 were produced, becoming one of the mainstays of the Empire Air Training Scheme (EATS) and British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP), as well as being used by many other countries both during and after the war.

After the war significant number of Oxfords was demilitarized and sold to small airlines as local passenger planes as Airspeed AS.65 Consul.

Didin't liked Airspeeds and Dorands, huh? 
Avro Anson was a RAF's first twin-engined monoplane with retractable undercarriage. First flown in 1935, it was originally designed as transport plane, but RAF initially used it as maritime patrol aircraft and as stop-gap bomber (before more suitable planes could be delivered in quantity), over time it was more increasingly used in support roles, mainly as trainer, but also ASR aircraft, transport (again) etc. Production lasted until 1952, with a total of 11020 being built in Great Britain and Canada.

Canada - Avro Anson
Australia, New Zealand, Rhodesia, South Africa - Avro Anson
Belgium, France, Portugal, Spain - Avro Anson
Estonia, Finland, Norway, The Netherlands - Avro Anson
