Avro Canada C-102?
Sorry, it has more engines than the Canberra. It wasn't built in the US. But the people who did sound awfully like Americans, especially if you're from across the pond, and to many Americans, too. But they don't feel this way. Eh?
The misfortune during the roll out happened when they tried to roll it out.
Best wishes,

Canberra?

Thank you for your comments.
This is a post war aircraft. I think that you're getting the path of the story right, but it wasn't built in the USA. This aircraft, along with one built in the US and another made in Europe share one unique conversion.
I believe that the aircraft may have been licensed TO the US, as in it was built here under license from one of our allies.
Sorry, it''s not licensed from the US. It's a multiple engined aircraft. The first aircraft adapted from the license had a bomb bay or two.
was this aircraft licensed fromU.S. to a middle-easten country?

This aircraft started as a license to build that was acquired from another country. The first use of this license resulted in an aircraft that was slower and had a lower operating attitude, but this was perfectly acceptable to the customer. The next version had to scramble to replace a very important item or rather items and one notable physical characteristic was also changed from the original licensed aircraft. To cap it off, it suffered an embarrassing oversight when it was first rolled out.
If it is OK, rather than giving the answer, could you give additional hints so that more people can make comments? After two days of hints or 7-10 comments, the first one with a clearly correct hint can take it away.

Spot on, the useful OV-10 - being like a mustang in that a Bronco is an untrained horse.

Going to take a guess--the B-25? Flown by 8 countries, 9 if you count the RAF unit made up of Free French pilots. And it flew from sea, off the Hornet in 1942. And both aircraft had a feature where they could select partial flaps to increase performance--the Mustang guys called it "combat flaps" and it gave the plane a tighter turning radius, while the B-25 used "quarter flaps" to counter the nose-up tendency, which increased the flyable range of the bomber. By using the quarter flaps, the airframe was in a level attitude, which solved the problem of the 48 or so gallons of fuel that was trapped in the rear of the tank away from the fuel pickup.

MilairjunkieThe mustang connection has nothing to do with the engines, but something to do with it's behavior & temperament.
If it's what I think it is, there is yet another connection to the Mustang which is even more tangible...
Nope, not the P-38.

Lockheed P-38 Lightning? Mustang link: Allison engines.
Not the Huey either Scorp.
Sorry guys, neither the Cat & DC are it.
Both the those aircraft are somewhat more spacious that the one in question & this aircraft has something in common with a mustang?
UH-1 Huey?

Check out my blog here.
I wanna say the dc-3/c-47 but thats served with nearly every nation on the planet.
I know its not the PBY Catalina 27 different military users and 7 countries with private owners.

OK,
This aircraft is a twin engined attack bird amongst other things, it's served for a total of 8 nations, has seen active service & has also been used for civilian tasks.
It's capable of carrying cargo, troops & stretcher patients as has been used from both land & sea?
Just a comment, Its interesting that two of their most famous aircraft didn't have animal nicknames, instead are called by their wing structures. I refer to:
Sopwith "One and a Strutter"
Sopwith "Triplane"
Indeed so! Here's Sopwith's zoo:
Quite a zoo!
Sopwith?
Not the Skunk-works, this company had a plethora of 'animals', hence the famous remark about this company's zoo.
Left field based on your "zoo" comment.
Lockheed Martin with their Skunk-Works.
Thanks F-8, a good guess!
Here's my question: Which famous aircraft company was famous, or infamous, for it's 'zoo'?
Centhot It sounds like a Corsair

Thats because it is! The USN was the first operator, the USAF was the second. Of course, neither one flies it operationally today, but the Greeks still fly a small number of them.
Doubt it, but the F-4?
The R.R. Spey was fitted to the F-4K/M Phantom's & for a while it seemed like a good idea, several proposals being put forward to the USN/USAF for upgraded aircraft using the Spey - until everyone found out that the F-4/Spey combination wasn't the dream made in heaven that it was supposed to be.
The F-4 first flew in 1958 & still serves with Germany, Greece, Japan, Korea, Egypt & Turkey (the last time I looked anyway - it may have changed slightly).
