The French Arsenal VB 10 fighter. An interesting design.
The Arsenal VB 10 was a French fighter aircraft developed during and shortly after World War II. The ultimate product of a design that began with the Arsenal VG 10 prior to the war, the VB 10 added a second engine behind the cockpit which drove a second propeller, coaxial with and contra-rotating to the propeller driven by the engine in the nose. |
