The wing platform as seen in the 3-view, reminds me of the Northrup P-61.
Yes Black Widow was similar.
I find most annoying the hints that HK-1 aka Spruce Goose wasn’t flyable at all.
There is a 1978 Tom Snyder Show which tells us ( 3 engineers of the project ) that it ( HK-1 ) was a year from completion when HH flew the huge aircraft.
Unfortunately the 4 videos of the show have been removed from the internet.
HK-1 weighed only 1/3 of the present day similar carrying aeroplanes. Thanks to DURAMOLD structure.
