Although this aircraft - the BUGATTI 100P - was not actually a MILITARY VEHICLE, it does have a very interesting history, having been smuggled out of Paris in the dead of night just as the German Forces were capturing the city during World War II.

Just imagine, if BUGATTI had indeed created a speed-record-setting airplane design, what could the Germans done with that technology toward improving their war machines?
Special features to notice:
- Counter-Rotating DUAL Props (Like on the Soviet TU-95 Bear Bomber of the Cold War Era)
- Inverted Tri-Tail (Horizontal and Vertical Stabilizers)
- Engine Cooling Air Inlets IN the leading edges of the Tri-Tail
- Engine postioned Midships for concentrated or compressed Center-of-Gravity (CG)
