[ARC5] A pair of questions

[Mark K3MSB]

Interesting airplane;  I've not heard of this before.    Like Ken I too
thought of inverted vee Rangers based on the nacelles.

According to my 1944 Janes All the Worlds Aircraft,  the AT-21 was the
production version of the XAT-13 and XAT-14 “Bombardier”.   The XAT-13 had
a pair of P&W Wasp radials, while the XAT14 and AT-21 had the inverted vee
engines.

If you put those radials on the AT-21,  it would really look like a
mini-B25 with those twin tails!   Also, the nose looks like a stretched
nose from the B-17E.

Keep us up to date Craig, maybe we'll see you at Breckenridge one year!
