      • Sure, the beast was built in 1940 as a long range bomber. No success, only one built. The design was not what one might call conventional....

        Here's the tail:

          • This aircraft is not American, you have to look a fair bit to the East. Another hint, the Ilyushin IL-4 played a part in it`s downfall.

                      • A turn up for the books, Mr. Whitelegg! Mention in dispatches.

                        The picture in your link is the only one I`ve been able to find, but here is a link to a 1:32 scale model that shows the beast from different angles.

                        The reference to the Il-4 is that the DB-LK lost to this aircraft for a Soviet bomber contract

                        Your controls.
