Fascinating! I would like to see them try that with a B-17.

However a number of companies make model kits of this unique biplane fighter. They are probably far more successful than the real thing. What could possibly go wrong?

What could possibly go wrong? Absolutely nothing, especially after we mount eight more .303 inch machine guns in the upper wing… Leland R. Erickson Metal Express metal-express.net

Wasn't it to gain extra range / time in the air through fuel efficiency ? Goes and reads article : yeah, more or less.

Hawker Hurricane biplane, wasn't that the Hawker Fury?

How would you jettison the upper wing without the risk of hitting the tail assembly (or other parts of the plane)?

Seems like it would be useful for using on small carriers or CAM ships where extra lift was needed.

Campy, The lift created by the upper wing would carry it up and away from the aircraft at the moment of release… …Allegedly…
