The Vought V-173, nickname "Flying Pancake", was an experimental all-wing fighter aircraft designed by Charles H. Zimmermann for the US in WWII. It was designed as an ESTOL (extreme short take-off and landing) plane. The only prototype ever built can now be seen in the Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas.
Thanks to Seeras for helping me with the flying.
