Joe; it was really more clues (3) and (4). That was a better question than it might appear. I just had a hunch early on that led me in the right direction. Then it was simply a matter of narrowing down a pretty small group of men. As I said; a better, and more difficult, question than it might at first appear. I'll post something in the morning. Thanks; Ernie P.

Question: What warbird do I describe?

Clues:
(1) This aircraft was originally intended as an attempt to redesign, and correct the design flaws in, an earlier and failed aircraft.

Hydro Junkie

Hydro Junkie; you certainly have the concept down correctly, but you have the wrong aircraft. Please try again. Also, was having trouble with WORD this morning and had to correct the wording of the first clue. My apologies. Thanks; Ernie P.


Question: What warbird do I describe?

Clues:
1. This aircraft was originally an attempt to redesign and correct the design flaws in an earlier, failed aircraft.
2. It essentially married together the design features of the failed aircraft, with the design features of a remarkably successful aircraft.

Hydro Junkie

A-5M
I only say this due to the fact that there are claims made that it was designed by Howard Hughes and was a total failure until the designers at Mitsubishi got their hands on it

It almost sounds like the B-50 variant of the B-29 except that the B-50 was designed and built by Boeing, not a foreign manufacturer
