Stevie my boy where do you dig these things up from - do you have a Boys Own Book of Obscure Aircraft :))

After much Googling - again - I think I've found it

What a weird beast it is

Bell YFM-1 Airacuda

Embodying many innovatory features and designed by Robert J Woods, the FM-1 Airacuda was a five-seat long-range bomber destroyer. Powered by two engines mounted as pushers, the Airacuda accommodated two gunners in forward extensions of the engine nacelles, these crew members being provided with wing crawlways enabling them to gain the fuselage in the event that it proved necessary to evacuate the nacelle gun positions. The prototype, the XFM-1 powered by two 1150hp Allison V-1710-13 12-cylinder liquid-cooled engines driving three-blade propellers via 1.62m extension shafts, was flown on 1 September 1937. Twelve evaluation models were subsequently ordered, nine as YFM-1s and three as YFM-1As which differed in having tricycle undercarriages. Power was provided by 1,150hp Allison V-1710-23s, but three YFM-!s were completed with V-1710-41s of 1,090hp as YFM-1Bs. The 12 YFMs were delivered to the USAAC between February and October 1940, and their armament comprised one 37mm T-9 cannon with 110 rounds in each engine nacelle, one 7.62mm M-2 machine gun with 500 rounds in each of the retractable dorsal turret and ventral tunnel positions, and one 12.7mm M-2 gun firing from each of the port and starboard beam positions. Twenty 13.6kg bombs could be accommodated internally.

C'mon Stevieboy I got a good one for you :ymdevil:

OOOoppppsss - sorry Bovril - I could have sworn that one was Stevieboy as it had his 'obscure origin' mark all over it :ymblushing:

(note to self - check before posting :ymblushing:

)
Sorry Steviboy too for casting aspertions :ymblushing:

So here's my attempt at trying obscure - but whilst it's unknown to me I bet someone knows it straight off .....
