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.

Everybody, meet the XB-28 Dragon. Good guesses, though.

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.

Well, there you go! Learnt something new already today and it's only 0637! Here I was thinking I was fairly well read re the air war and associated subjects but there's always something that comes up that's new. Found out about the Bell L-39 yesterday. Another one I had never seen and was amazed at.

Kyt, I'll be stuffed if I know what that pic of yours is! LOL

Sorry, should have made it clear - the second picture is another view of the VB10 - just wanted to show it's strange snout.

It's Blackblue's go.
