Vought XF5U-1 Flying FlapJack

Thanks guys!

The wood props aren't as odd to me as it having nose art and never actually flying, let alone put into service.  

As if its unproven unique design wasn't enough, it was also a victim of the jet age (it had two piston engines) and WWII had ended, so it had two strikes against it before it ever could take off.

Yes, if you dig deeper into it then all you've mentioned is odd. But on a first glance, the wooden props struck me as odd.
