I wonder why they elected to go with the long exhaust pipe.

Smoke cover?

Most likely for night flying to eliminate the exhaust glare for the pilot. The French had a hard time with the Vengeance in North Africa where they suffered excessive oil consumption, something they never solved.

Hmmm... Interesting

Sort of like Corvairs with wings?
