I happen to be watching the 1942 movie Flying Tigers and saw this plane. It's in-air stand-in is a model as the original was permanently grounded. Who would have thought that sheet metal screws were not a good fit for making airplanes?
 
Just because it can fly, doesn't mean it should fly.

No one believes the theory except the one who developed it. Everyone believes the experiment except the one who ran it.

Amen Sparweb. This must be one of the most hideous aircraft ever.
