The Flamant looks a lot like an American plane that was used for the training of bomber crews. Add a dorsal turret and less dihedral on the stabs. I'm hoping someone will post the plane I'm hallucinating about.
At least one variant was powered by Ranger engines.

I watched a French movie recently, called "Promise at Dawn" about the life of novelist Romain Gary (born Kacew) - remember the "Emile Ajar" affair?
Gary was a bombardier with No.342 sq. RAF (GB/I/20 'Lorraine') during WWII and flew on "Bostons". In the movie all flying scenes are CGI-ed but non of the bombers represent a "Boston". In fact they were more of the "hallucination" you had .
Below a few stills from the movie:




Cheers!
 


F-AZOS - "White 6" is a modified Yak-11 trainer servicing in the Egyptian Air Force until 1970. She was rebuilt as a single-seat fighter in the USA at the end of 80'. In 2000 or so the radial engine was replaced with an Allison in-line one and sold to France in 2003.

F-AZLY - "White 5" is a Yakovlev Yak-3 UA , the Texas replica built by a French Jean-Marie Garric Garric Warbirds and his company in early 2000. She was imported into France in early 2003 and in April was crashed. The damaged plane was sold to Norman Jean-Luc Canu and then restored in the USA and the France. She is powered by a new Allison V-12 engine. Certificate of airworthiness for F-AZLY (Yak 3 Ua, 172890) issued in November 2013.
