Now that is an odd looking duck. I expect it was an early experiment at a monoplane?

Yes, it's the "Aerogallo" built by an Italian designer. And it flies quite well from what I've heard.
My apologies Chris. She was wearing a dress and I thought all was well when I posted it.
I will endeavor to look at the nipple area more closely next time.
Cheers.

I find an up close visual inspection of those areas is essential. A tactile inspection is preferred but when all you have is a photo you have to work with what you have.

His vision resulted in the XF-92
:
Chuck Yeager once got it to fly at an indicated 89 mph at a very high angle of attack! Probably errant airflow, but impressive anyway.
It also starred as a foeign experimental plane in "Jet Pilot," widely acclaimed as one of the worst-acted films ever produced, but also containing a LOT of impressive aviation clips. Here it is as Russian "Evil Empire" plane:
Who knew there would eventually BE a real MiG-23? Still, pretty cool to see 1950s experimentals painted up and in movies! They also used the X-1 in that same movie and it flew! Considering the ulmer leather washers eroded with liquid Oxygen flow and would cause an explosion when they wore out, it's a wonder Yeager sirvived. He directed NEW washers be installed for every flight!
