A bit of a stumper Col. After re-exam of the photo and the hanger
windows in background appearing where the empennage should be.
I'll venture it's an NC-1...or a sternless F3 or F5L Curtiss/Felix derivative.

Didnt Vultee-Consolidated make the XP-81?

Hi Paul,
According to my reference it was Convair, BUT, Convair means, CONsolidated- Vultee AIRcraft Corp, right! :shock: :wink:

It has taken almost two years but you are right it was a Consolidated-Vultee project. The combination fighter.
