I saw a drawing on SPF some time ago I'm trying to locate. It's trimotor propeller airliner, very streamlined with the cockpit above the fuselage. Anybody know it? I assume because of its size and aerodynamics it's post war but could be late pre war.
 
That reminds us of the Northrup YC-123 Raider, tri-motor transport that first flew in August 1949. Only 23 were built - for the USAF - because they could not compete price-wise with military surplus transports. Despite its trio of R-1820 radial engines, it was still considered under-powered and retired from military service in 1955. Many surplused C-125s were sold to Central and South America.
