Science works as perpetual correction...
The top-paleontologists have modified the drawing of DN-38s: the wing and shoulder are different, and the name of the marine DN-38Hs is at last Plesionings:

Pr Miller told us that this was half top-secret untill he publishes in the Nature famous scientific magazine, but he authorized us to see one last file and he required a number. At random, I said "82!", and here is the surprising result, like a mix of DN-38 and DN-51!:

Beautiful animal/aircraft hybrids!

I do appreciate very much this comment from the great Master in the field of aircraft/animal mixes!

Now, let us stop fantasy: this is a very serious Website, and today is Valentine's day celebration. A Mustang hydroplane tells it better than me:

Good stuff!
So far, I especially like the Jackstangs and Jacknings

Thanks a lot, perttime!

There were 2 remaining problems, and I had to draw a complement:
- There is not less tenderness in a (civilian) Lightning than a (civilian) Mustang
- My son was a little jealous, and I must add words celebrating his own love

In 1946, many P-38 experienced pilots became civilian pilots of twin-hull flying boats TH-38:

The TH-38 had a very small lifting area, and the French license-built models cured that:
- the Hurel-Dubois TH-38HD featured a giant span
- the Delanne TH-38DE featured tandem wings

Of course, Mustangosaure bones have been discovered in America, and Plesiostaure bones have been discovered in China, but the DN-51 code was not at all in Dinosaur language, just a classification in human museum!"

History/Paleontology may be a thrilling adventure you know:
My 5-year old son Jacky is the top leader among French/Filipino paleontologists and he denied this name Mustangosaure, arguing that the DN-51D was a Mustandocus (cousin of the diplodocus) and not Mustangosaure (cousin of the stegosaure). I had 12 years of search (shortened into 12 hours thanks to my time machine) done to solve this mystery, and I got the answer at last: the stegosaure cousin was the DN-51B Mustegosaure (see below), but scientists cannot talk about it at all, under pressure of the oil companies, refusing to let the people know that, 60 million years ago, flying dinosaurs were already using solar electricity, without any kerosen!

It seems the drawing above produced like a tempest among prehistotic scientist experts... I received an angry mail from Pr Peter F. Miller:
"I deny completely that the skin of the Mustangosaure was dotted to hide from predators in flower fields (and that the skin of the Plesiosaure was dotted to hide from predators in waterlilly fields), no this is childish fantasy. Of course, Mustangosaure bones have been discovered in America, and Plesiostaure bones have been discovered in China, but the DN-51 code was not at all in Dinosaur language, just a classification in human museum!"

Looks like you may channeling Luigi Colani there Tophe

Uh? I am very surprised that you have ever heard of the top-secret seaplane COLA-38Y... Why such a design? It was simple: the engines of the P-38 were too far from one another, with strong asymmetry if one engine is in a jam. So the left engine and wing were moved towards the right ones and the cockpit was moved elsewhere. Simple but secret (as no other army has ever thought of this, don't repeat it!)

Tophe · « **Reply #61 on:** February 17, 2015, 12:15:16 AM »

For the derivatives of the Cola-38, I must check my words, because free advertisement is forbidden in my country.
Well the civilan derivative with empty nose was the Cola-38P Pepso, and the military derivative of it (with a pod above) was the Cola-38C Coco (1,000,000 copies ordered by Bolivia, before cancellation due to false money payment):

Other derivatives with booms (and propellers) close to one another, the Cola-38D, E, F:

My son Jacky required me to draw a Schtroumpf-aircraft. Here it is (I don't know the exact English name but this was the model licence-built in France):

schtroumpf is smurf in english

excellent!

Thanks a lot, ericr!
Here is the family including the twins:

Question: is "seaplane" feminine in English (as "ship")? I would have to draw twin-sisters instead of twin-brothers... (double-shtroumpfette)

Then my son required that I drew a hammerhead-shark aircraft (he saw that for the first time on Internet). This is just a fish, not a ferocious shark.

Tophe · « **Reply #67 on:** February 21, 2015, 03:02:25 PM »

Of course, Daddy Tophe added Siamese twins:

My son disagreed about the drawing of hammerhead helicopter I made:
- he said a helicopter/fish does not have such big wings
- he required windows, as an aircraft must have passengers (according to him)

This evening, my son required that I draw a moon-aircraft. So here are two MP-51 Moonstang (MP-51D and B), with a floatplane derivative:

Tophe · « **Reply #70 on:** February 25, 2015, 01:22:25 PM »

The FMP-51 Moonstang-II (and Sea-Moonstang-II) introduced a forward-swept version of the Moon-wing:

The North-American Moon-Wing license was bought by Lockheed for improved Lightning (Moonning) and Sea-Lightning (Float-Moonning):

No idea anymore on my side, sadly... then my little son asked "daddy, can you draw an aircraft-glasses, or sunglasses?". Yes, thanks! P-38S (and FP-38S):

Tophe · « **Reply #73 on:** February 28, 2015, 11:23:05 PM »

Far from war, triceratops dinosaur bones were discovered in Kansas, 1943. And Lockheed designers took this idea to present the P-138 Tricerightning rammer-interceptor-floatplane, but USAAF pilots did prefer guns. Anyway, Japanese spies got the plans and Kawasaki built the Ki-138 Lightniceratops that pleased Japanese pilots very much, and many Ki-238 Lightniceratops-Futago (Twin-Lightniceratops) entered service to break down the B-29 fleet, what they did with full success (this was 60 million years ago, 1944 weeks after Jesusaurus Rex):

Of course, humanity has disappeared a long time ago, but the new dinosaurs are referring to them to chose their names, like the Peethirtyheighteratops and their Siamese twin cousins:
