Yup, that's on the list, for sure.I think the Blohm and Voss BV-141 makes this list.
You'd be flying in an inverted "vic" with a Beaufort.Yeah, i'd have serious doubts about flying in formation with my engine !!!
What's you favorite strange airplane from WWII? Plenty of choices, but here's one of mine: the Zveno composite bomber / fighter. The Z-1 was designed to carry up to three fighters into battle for self protection or for extended range strikes, it was successful enough that the Soviets developed the project into the Aviamatka Z-6, which could carry five fighters. The Z-7 actually saw combat, carrying two dive bombers. Check out the linked article and imagine the crews' reactions when they were assigned to this duty.

Now we're talking!The flying saucers!
Both the Sach As-6 and the Vought V-173
It's not a contest but a flying tank? Winner.Antanov A40 flying tank Consisted of a T60 tankette. It did fly once but the tow plane had to cut it loose because of excessive drag. I immagine with more streamlining and engine power it might have worked. Current Russian practice is to paratroop BMP-1 complete with crew. Works well.

There is also that Brit airplane that was half Lysander, half Lancaster.
It really is more of a cool looking airplane.Whatever you say about the Defiant Boulton Paul did a lovely job on the engine cowlings
