Not so. This is Frank M. Bellanca, who worked on designing the P-39 for Bell, NOT Guiseppe Bellanca!

Hi,


only my suggesting,may be that aircraft submitted to this competition,if it
was real design, (no evidence about that,just speculation).

I'm afraid ,this illustration is nothing
more than a free interpretation of early G-1 info...
(see the typical glazed tailcone)

 

[hesham]

OK my dear Lark.

The picture presented on 5 March is an artist fantasy of the Fokker G-1. On 26 February 2014, in the discussion on the G-1 (Dutch bombers etc.), I mentioned that there is no evidence that the US Army ever considered the G-1. Presenting this picture as a potential contender for the CP39-775 competition is confusing.The matter concerning CP39-775 is already complex enough and does not need unfounded speculation like this.
