In the early days of aviation, as the field of aircraft design was just beginning to take shape, engineers were constantly experimenting with new airframe concepts. Aerodynamic layouts ranged from groundbreaking innovations to outright oddities. Many were quickly tested, and while some faded into obscurity, others laid the groundwork for future advancements. Among these was the twin-boom design, which offered several advantages: streamlined engine placement, efficient landing gear configuration with a nose wheel for easier takeoffs and landings, and the ability to mount heavy armaments without gun synchronizers. This design also allowed gunners in the central nacelle a wide range of fire coverage.
