In Gann's book "Flying Circus", he mentioned a DC-2 1/2,
A DC-3 with a DC-2 wing on one side.

Is this serious? Was it intended for flying in circles?


Perfect for the Reno races, wot? With the shorter wing, it would miss
the pylons easier, too.

There's only a ten foot difference in wingspans but a 47 s/f area, so
I'm wondering how much of that is in fuselage width.

No, they were trying to escape the Japaneese.
