The prototype flew 6 or 7 times before crashing. Their were later claims of sabotage but the more likely cause was structural failure due to an unresolved issue with harmonic vibration in the tail booms.

Like women, they all have their charm in a certain way. Some are just uglier than others!

Wouldn't it be too noisy for the passengers to sit inside the wings? Or did the designers want to stuff the wings with isolation material?

In Mother Russia passengers tough.


Meanwhile from Italy, the stylish nine wing Caproni 60, which actually did get airborne 4th march 1921, albeit not for very long ...

But hey, that P-51 is butt-ugly It is like a Danish story about a king who wore no clothes - something none dared to point out. Except one kid, who did not understood that it was not "proper" to point out xD

P-51 "butt-ugly" xD

You must remember to keep the gate closed and locked when you leave the pasture.

Kids these days, honestly.
