Cessna Model 306 ASW proposal (for OS-117)

[Stargazer]

The Spangenberg Index has brought into light a forgotten Cessna project, the Cessna 306, a November 1950 proposal to OS-117 for a carrier-borne early-warning attack aircraft (won by the Grumman Sentinel/Tracker, designated S2F).

Now THAT is brilliant. First time I've seen this! If you've got more rarities like this, keep' em comin'!
Meanwhile, I think it would be great to also feature this beauty in the dedicated OS-117 thread.
