U shaped wings

* *Some time ago there was a magazine cover showing a twin engine aircraft
with a U shape in each wing. The U's curved downward then up again with
engines and props within the U.
* *When did that occur and what magazine was that; anyone know? A vague memory
points to popular mechanics or popular science.

Custer Channel Wing.

I made an RC model of one years ago. The darn thing would fly so slow
the flight controls couldn't get a grip on the air. Losing an engine
when flying that slow was catastrophic, however.
