Awards given to winners.
The answer to last G.T.P. was: Convair's XFY-1 Pogoplane.
There was no clear winner, though PAUL TOMBLIN gets an honorable mention.

This would be, the USNavy's  VTOL prototype for ASW and CAS for commerical
shipping and CVEs.
Wasn't it cut by the DoD under the Carter Adminnistration?
