Bell Attack Bomber

, , ,

A concept illustration of a an attack bomber by Bell Aircraft. No further info than the picture; this would seem to date from the very late 1930’s or early 40’s. As illustrated it’s lopsided… radial engine (Wright R-2600) on the starboard wing, inline (Allison V-1710-F-2) in the port wing. This would indicate engine possibilities, not schizophrenic designers. The forward fuselage is fully glazed and geometrically unbroken; the result is something like the Heinkel 111.

    I have a slightly higher resolution version of this that I list as a Bell Model 17.
