![]() | Thanks Geoff, it was late last night and I had just been staring at the nose of a P-38 trying to work out what noseart had been removed! The bulbous cockpit was giving me trouble till I remembered that A-26s had that style but with less framework. ![]()

![]() | Arsenal VB 10 The French government ordered this strange plane off the drawing board in 1940 and work continued under the Vichy government throughout the war and went on when things reverted back to normal after the capitol was liberated in 1944. The final design used two 1,150 Hispano-Suiza HS 12Z12/13 V-12s—one in the nose and one behind the pilot coupled together driving contra-rotating props. It finally flew in July 1945.
