Afternoon clue. Thanks; Ernie P.
What warbird do I describe?
1. This military warbird was actually a derivative of a military transport aircraft design.
2. And the military transport aircraft was itself a derivative of a civilian prototype transport aircraft.
3. Our subject aircraft had revised wing flaps, canopy and tail assembly.
4. And, it was fitted with landing gear that was semi retractable.
5. Our subject aircraft was submitted to the military air service, but was accepted only after some design modifications were made.
6. Among these were replacing the semi retractable landing gear with fixed landing gear.
