What warbird do I describe?
1. This aircraft was never put into production; although it was realized it had tremendous potential.
2. Only three prototypes were produced.
3. And two of those weren’t finished until after the war ended.
4. However, it would have been a very formidable combatant had it been produced.
5. Its qualities were clearly recognized by the military services.
6. And its qualities were many.
7. However, the need for an aircraft of this type simply no longer existed.
8. Its primary attribute was its very long range.
9. Which was a very important factor when it was designed.
10. Not so much when it was ready for production.
