Remind me of the old TV show "Thunderbirds" the one with the puppets, and the sub-plane ........ I think it looks like a flying manta ray. |

Ugly Airplanes, pt 2 - Burnelli CBY-3 #1
2005 - From a trip to New England Air Museum ( http://neam.org/ ) in Connecticut just
outside of KBDL. The text on the sign reads: Burnelli CBY-3 Loadmaster 1945 "This CBY-3 was the first of Vincent Burnelli lifting fuselage aircraft wherein the fuselage assisted the wing providing lift. A prolific designer he believed that his design was stronger safer, and more efficient than conventional designs and although eight prototypes were built between 1923 and 1945, none achieved production. This the sole remaining Burnelli example and the only CBY-3 was built by Canadian Car and Foundry and flown until the early 1950's. Gift - Occidental Aircraft Corporation" I found a site that reaps of conspiracy theory regarding the designer and the non-selection of the companies aircraft by the government. It includes several photos and a video of the crash of an aircraft in which everyone reportedly walked away. It also devotes a page to NEAM and their lack of living up to a promise to restore the CBY-3 I photographed at their outside display. http://www.aircrash.org/burnelli/neam1.htm |

Looking back through the other photos I have this is the only other portion of the aircraft visible. Tom |
