YP-59A, modified with enclosed secondary cocpit in nose? (like Chino PoF's YP-59A formerly had, if not actualy the same plane; that plane has now been restored to the original configuration and is supposed to be ready to fly this fall)

I would need some help to try to find this one. Is any photo-reconnaissance aircraft of the IIWW, or some post IIWWW era airplane?

A view with the nose cannon should help you identify it...

Well done Waynos

Its the SAAB B17 and there might be no other plane that has those undercarriage trouser.

Gloster E.1/44 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

With the original tail. (the later high mounted tail was used on the Meteor F-8)

Small radial. Extended exhaust. At least a dual engine, perhaps three. Italian?

Sorry missed the post. Oh well, never would have guess that anyway. See this is why I usually only watch and don't participate.

Bugatti should use it to advertise the launch of the Veyron

Actually the 100 would make the Veyron look ugly - not a good idea.

Where is this example located?
It's not Pensacola, but it sure looks like the Naval Aircraft Museum at Pensacola for some reason.

Looks highly unstable and severely handicapped by engineering reality. Inefficient cooling, a propshaft running between the pilots buttocks, flight controls to account for forward swept wings, non orthogonal prop (for supposed noise reduction, etc.

An engineering nightmare of zero utility.

But she sure is beautiful.

The P-39 Cobra that flies near me makes some horrible sounds from its prop shaft (even tho its immaculate) It certainly would not instill confidence in me with the drive under my bum.
