RE: Knowledge Quiz for Warbird wiz
All I've found so far..from that time period is the C-27 (related to military duty ) but I don't think that's it...(not a carrier type / folding wings )
The 28-70 or 28-90 look "fighter like" but???
Edit: BTW here's an interesting link I stumbled across

Last hint for the night.
I did a google search to see what one of Ernies guesses was and the aircraft in question was in the picture next to Ernies.

Yes. The XSE-1 and XSE-2 were designed to be reconnaissance aircraft. the XSE-1 crashed during tests and the Navy thought the XSE-2 had too many problems to be useful.
By the way, I have a set of plans for a 99" XSE-2 that I plan to build when I gather enough information. I am having finding information on the paint color and the cockpit lay out.
Proptop, it's your turn

Wow...that was fun 
and very informative [8D] thanks...that's a rather obscure airplane there...one that I never knew existed!
Good luck on your project, and maybe you could do a build thread when you're ready?
Give me a little time to come up w/ a new question guys...
