Inversion in conditional sentences

As far as I know, there are three different types of inversion in conditional sentences.


1) If + Subject + were ~

2) If + Subject + had p.p ~

3) If + Subject + should V ~


Then, I found the following two sentences, which I'd like to ask you whether it's grammatically correct.


1) Had I wings, ~~

2) Had he a little patience, ~~


Thanks in advance~

The subject is before the verb in all three of your illustrations, so I don't know what kind of inversion you're talking about. Daniel 1) Had I wings, ~~ 2) Had he a little patience, ~~ These are correct.
