Stearman made a bomber prototype......!!!!

Stearman made a bomber prototype......!!!! Always amazed on how many prototypes were designed and build during those years.

The Stearman X-100 XA-21

Shameless from Wiki

The Stearman Model X-100 was a competitor in an United States Army Air Corps competition for a twin-engined attack aircraft which (after redesigns) led to the Douglas A-20 Havoc, Martin A-22 Maryland and North American B-25 Mitchell.

I haven't seen the stepped canopy version before. Neat.

I was thinking more like "the box the Blenheim came in" - especially with the two different noses.
