my first thought was a deHavilland something or other based on the front
end. But the Rapide is a biplane ,. I also wondered where you got the two
extra engine bit, then I saw what looked like a pusher propeller at the
back
of each engine. Did any real airplane ever have engines mounted back to
back ( as distinct from the C337 which are at each end of the cabin.?


Yes, the Fokker F-32, for one.
