Hi SLD.
Interesting. I've been looking at lotta aircraft with a central piece of cockpit glass. The net shows a variety of cockpit layouts, but I think it's this machine...

Everybody can sit in the front.

Is there anyone naming the challenge?
or I will reveal and declare OH tomorrow noon.

Exactly!
I don’t know if Ernest Gann flew one of these, but indeed a “Fly me” appearance!

No takers yet?
It seems the 3 clues are not enough?
Try searching experimental bomber.
