The What is it? Game

[Capt. Vick]

Damn that's weird. What's all that for then?

Far as I know Jim, it was the thinking of the time, that the aerodynamics required for the speed of the new breed of jet fighter, would benfit from the shape. After a re-think, and achieving a suitable angle for a one-piece, flat screen, subsequent models were fitted with a 'traditional' screen.

 

[Capt. Vick]

That little-known, twin-engined kit-built amphibian, the name of which I can't remember, but I think it's of American origin.
