That was my first thought as well.  But this one is even more weird!

It takes a special plane to make the Gee Bee look normal.

Use to race the geebees in another sim years ago,extra points if you could put the gear in the river water without crashing. IIRC it was a MS sim so it wasn’t all that hard to roll the wheels in the water.

Another Caproni design, Caproni Campini N.1

Powerplant: 1 × motorjet , 6.9 kN (1,600 lbf) thrust consisting of a 670 kW (900 hp) Isotta Fraschini L.121 R.C.40 piston engine driving a three-stage, variable-pitch axial compressor with an afterburner

And I thought the F6F was created by an engineer who told his kid to draw an airplane and then made it a blueprint.
