Cigogne Monitor, an experimental close air support variant of the successful 54 series of STOL military observation/light transport aircraft by the French Fictional 1950's "Compagnie Nationale de Construction à Acronyme Completement Generique'. This 'Battlefield Monitor' deleted the third seat from the STOL air taxi in favor of an offensive payload of bombs and rockets and a novel automatic gun turret aimed from the rear seat by means of an optical periscope system. All this while still retaining the STOL capabilities of the original.
(Thanks to @RoastHam9146 for the tutorial on how to build a camera-aimed gun turret. )
