This is the BX-12 aka The Box, this massive bird flew during World War II for the D-Day operation to drop paratroopers, the USAF asked an amateur designer to design and build a multirole aircraft that could drop paratroopers, bombs, jeeps, etc. and travel long distances without having to refuel, and this "Box" is what he came out with, it served for D-Day and some other unkown operations and is no longer in service but it served for 1 year and only 15 of these were made. Ag1 to drop paratroopers, Ag2 to activate parachutes, Ag3 + VTOL down to open drop doors. enjoy!
