I see the basic design approach as similar to the He-111Z glider towing aircraft of WW2, the Me-109Z experimental aircraft and the P-82 (later F-82) that saw service in Korea.

Notably, the He-111Z had 2 separate tail structures, although the Me-109Z and F-82 had a horizontal stabilizer that joined the two fuselages.

Interestingly, this design approach goes all the way back to 1915:
