So here I am, I'm definitely interested to know more about this project!
Caravellarella said:Dear Frank, the Bréguet 89 Mars/Mercure series looked a bit like this, but with a box-section fuselage and swing-tail for loading. They were the unsuccessful competitors to the S.N.C.A.N N.2500 Noratlas. The Breda-Pittoni BP.471 also looks a bit like this but with an inverted gull wing centre-section......
All best, Terry (Caravellarella).

Unfortunately, that was likely posted while I was still working for Lockheed-Martin. That employement ended a year and a half ago and I don't have access to their photo archives any more. In general, I'd say, from memory, it bears the same resemblance to the single-seat AM-1 that the multi-seat versions of the Skyraider bear to the single-seat versions. Too, if I do have a copy, it's on my home computer and not the laptop I took with me when I took this contract position in Connecticut.
I'm sorry I can't provide more info at this time.

Nope. Just had a look at Naval Fighters #24 and it's not in there...
frank said:IIRC, it still had the single cockpit, but was more along the lines of an AD-4N with seats in the fuselage behind & below the cockpit. ISTR a couple of windows. I'll see if I can find the drawing I have. It may have come from Ginter's book on the Mauler. It definitely wasn't along the lines of an AD-5/A-1E.

I stand corrected. Then again, it has been a few years and I'm relying solely on memory here. Actually, your description does jibe better with what I can remember of the drawing.
