Yes it is pretty. Any other guesses other than "its shit?" (Which is wrong, by the way 
)
)
Nope got me beat on this one also. I can not find it in a single book or online anywhere.

Now that I look at it again it looks pretty familiar. Could it be a Piaggio P.23?

would'nt the the air from the front engines get so disturbed that the pushers did squat diddly?
What do you know about the P.50? It looks like it had good potential.

The P.50-I had the tandem configuration, the P.50-II had a conventional engine configuration, perhaps there was some interference. And yes it had potential, the P.108 was based on it somewhat, I can't remember how much off the top of my head though.
