Morning clue. Thanks; Ernie P.


Question: What warbird do I describe?

Clues:
  1. This little known and unheralded aircraft was a true wonder. It was designed to fulfill a variety of roles; and to do all of them well.
  2. It succeeded in doing exactly that. And much, much more.
  3. All the more surprising, it was designed and built by a company which hadn’t produced an aircraft of its general type for a very long time.
  4. Only prototypes were produced, because, in the end, it was decided it simply wasn’t needed.
  5. Despite that fact, it was a truly marvelous aircraft. Had it been placed in production, it would have been a clear advance on every aircraft of its type in existence.
