RE: Knowledge Quiz for Warbird wiz
Another clue for this morning. Thanks; Ernie P.
Background: This has always been kind of an interesting aircraft to me.
Question: What seminal prototype aircraft do I describe?
Clues:
(1) It was, essentially, the front half of a production fighter; although…
(2) … it was originally intended to be a testbed for a civilian airliner.
(3) All three prototypes were destroyed in crashes, and all three resulted in the death of the pilot.
