Re: Name that plane
B-17 test bed with an Allison T-40 turboprop. That plane has been restored to flying condition as the "Liberty Belle".

Re: Name that plane
This B-26G played a key role in the development of a new USAF airplane. What was the development goal of this B-26, why was it important to the new plane, and for what new airplane(s). (Only one needed...there were three different planes using the B-26 testing)

Re: Name that plane
This is interesting. I found info on a XB26H with the tandem landing gear, but with different (or mistaken) BuNos:
XB-26H: one experimental aircraft, 44-28221, with zero-track tandem landing gear.

Re: Name that plane
Before 468221 was a XB-26H, it WAS a B-25G. So the tandem or bicycle landing gear apparently is what distinguished this aircraft. Now why was it supporting this arrangement? What drove this design?? And name the aircraft this XB-25H helped out in design...

I'm guessing the B-47 Stratojet.

The wings were too thin for landing gear and the fuselage slim lines would be ruined (and the bomb bay made smaller) by using side-by-side gear sets.
Heres a new one: |

Re: Name that plane
I would say either a Mig-1 or a Mig-3 that was captured and sent to Japan.
The radio mast is in a different spot on my Mig-3 picture than it is on your Mig-3 picture so that is why I am not certain.
PS Skunk you don't have to be disgusting ! Some of us like to eat while we are on the computer !!!!

Re: Name that plane
Flying in this aircraft would be fun in the south Pacific as long as the Japanese were not around.

Re: Name that plane
I guess you guys need a huge hint. 
It was built by the Short Brothers in Belfast Ireland.
If you buy a shirt, usually it has a lable that says "Made in XXXXXXXX"
