Oh YES
The predecessor of the asymmetrical BV 141.
The nose of this early prototype sure was misleading ..
Its handling was astonishingly good, it behaved well, easy to start and land, even easy to get out of a spin, but refused due to the weak engine. The proposed BMW engine used in the FW 190 was needed for the latter, so it was not available. Despite the strange looks it was or would have been a formidable recconnaissance plane, but the Focke Wulf 189 was then preferred for this role.
