After the end of the Second World War, Air racing became a popular and industry status sport.  To improve upon the endless surplus stock aircraft supply, North American Aviation and Focke-Wulf combined their talent and products to create a new super racer.

As for the company and aircraft name, let me translate it for you: North Germany Aviation NDL-800 Fast Horse.  :icon_fsm:
