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?

called the Ou812.

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.

It's not as cool as the Stirling with the tarpaulin over the nose section!
I'd have gone for a garden gate effect myself, or maybe a nice pair of draw
string curtains for the front gunner. ;-)
