canard:
An unfounded or false, deliberately misleading story.

[French, duck, canard, probably from the phrase vendre un canard à
moitié, to half-sell a duck, to swindle, from Old French quanart,
duck, from caner, to cackle, of imitative origin.]

So a base canard is a duck with a deep voice?

Well, it is an aviation forum so we are just winging it. 'sides "aweful pun" is
redundant.

Not in my copy of the Officer's guide. Nothing even close.

It's not the April 1st, wink wink.

Interesting subject for a modeling project, though...
Looks like the original picture was of a YB-40 instead of a B-17?

Try Kg200 DL+XC fin No.124585 originally "Wulf Hound" of the 303rd Bomb
Group at Molesworth, force landed December 1942!

That's what I originally would have posted about. Good for you for
posting first. More on the aircraft he

p.s. As for canards in WW2 try the MiG-8 testbed and Kyushu Shinden
interceptor. There's also a few US fighter prototypes with canards and
of course the British Miles M.35. German designs incorporating canards
are too numerous to list here; try Luftwaffe Secret Projects Vols. 1-3
for references.
