Fourth of July special: Two clues today!
Looking for a warbird.
1. Only a few of them produced, but all the ones that were manufactured were used by the one service that acquired them.
2. Some were civilian aircraft converted to military use, others were built specifically for the military, though based on civilian aircraft.
3. Twin engines, crew of two.
4. A trainer, but some of them were used in other roles.
5. Strictly speaking, it might have been more accurate to say "looking for a class of warbirds," because there was a fair amount of variation among the less than 30 of them used.
6. One of them played a minor part in a very-well-known operation, and the major role in an incident that still remains somewhat mysterious.
