It’s a WWII German reconnaissance plane. They built a few of them.

Ir didn’t look like it would work but apparently it did.

I still remember doing the drag calculations for an oblique wing in my theoretical aerodynamics class and not believing the math in front of me.

I remember the first time I got on a plane with two seats on one aisle and three on the other.

“Nah,” was the first thought that passed through my mind.

For artillery spotting, recon aircraft would typically fly in huge loops, this odd design  gave the observer total field of view forward, below and the starboard sides

Huh. It doesn’t look very stealthy

Also since you aren’t traveling far of  fast, a second engine isn’t needed, which helps keeps costs down
