Aircraft recognition help! What aircraft is shown in Flight Highschool chapter 0 page 30 panel 2 (Standardization Policy)?

This plane is prop driven, twin engine, apparently a military aircraft (since that is the theme of the comic), has stubby wings and diverging nacelles.

I think it may be an experimental or short-lived model. It is not identified in the character group photo, the updated how-to-color list or the TVtropes website.

Update:

Please note, ALL the other girls represent REAL aircraft. Some of them are so detailed that you can tell which model they are from the plane on their backs. In the case of similar models, one girl will have minor stylistic differences in her hair, face or accessories.

Actual military pilots and aviation enthusiasts have commented on this point.

    It's a Vought XF5U 'Flying Flapjack', an experiment fighter aircraft designed for operating from short runways and aircraft carriers during WW2. It's the first example of a plane that featured STOVL capabilities, never passed testing however.

    It's a comic book cartoon. Why would you expect it to be a REAL airplane?
