Piaggio P.119, an experimental Italian fighter design completed in the early 1940s. The type featured a novel layout, the radial engine powerplant being "buried" in the aircraft mid-fuselage (similar to the P-39 Airacobra and P-63 King Cobra). The Armistice brought an end to the project. reddit.com/gallery/rve036
