Details of Plane ""The two fuselages are carried on the center-win- g section, which is fitted with a single, slotted-typ- e wing flap and with provisions for machine guns and bomb racks. The outer wing sections have removable tips, aileron-typ- e wing flaps and fittings for bomb racks and rocket launchers. Each fuselage has a short rear section actually forming a part of the empennage, which consists of .two vertical stabilizers and rudder assemblies linked together by a single horizontal stabilizer and elevator assembly. Dorsal fins fair the vertical stabilizers to the fuselages to improve directional stability. With two pilots, the one on the left is designated the "main" pilot. Each pilot has complete primary and empennage trim tab controls, while the aileron trim tab is controlled from the left cockpit only. Complete elevator and rudder control systems in each fuselage are interconnected through the center wing section, as are the complete aileron control systems incorporated in each outer wing panel. Both engine throttles and both propellers are controllable from either cockpit by manually operated levers. A simplified cockpit arrangement has been worked out to improve the pilot's comfort, including a tilting, adjustable seat to reduce fatigue during long flight. Armament is flexible but in the main consists of six machine guns of .50 caliber, 25 rockets or four heavy bombs. Range is in, excess of 3,000 miles, dependent on armament selected. .
