When I saw the first pic, I thought it was a late N model with some mods.

What might have worked was to have based it on the Grumman F7F or F8F platforms. I love what ifs . . . they never end. :)

“It isn’t pretty like a fighter, but it does have a beauty all its own.”

If it is supporting troops on the ground, it is the most serenely beautiful airplane that they have ever seen in their lives, I’ll bet. Definitely better looking than tiny contrails 30,000 feet high.
