El Diseño Maldito: Lo Vetó un Presidente, Lo Plagió una Corporación, Lo Quemó un Soldado Borracho
Nine prototypes in forty-four years of experimental aviation, all superior to their rivals in testing, none mass-produced. Vincent Burnelli created aircraft with a lifting fuselage capable of generating half the lift and surviving fatal crashes of any conventional design. Aviation history forgot him as the US industry blocked his prototypes and the war scattered his experimental aircraft across three continents. His last design, the CBY-3 Loadmaster, built by Canadian Car and Foundry, now rests in the New England Air Museum as the sole survivor of the rarest aircraft of World War II.
