Message 1581945 - Posted: 4 Oct 2014, 18:14:58 UTC - in response to Message 1581864.  

The aircraft made only one brief flight on November 2, 1947, and the project never advanced beyond the single example produced.

Right, and it was a fairly low level flight. I am not certain it made it out of ground effect.

I saw the movie and it was pretty impressive (ground effect or not) in those days getting that huge baby into the air.
