The AAF had tested its own single-engine and single crew night fighters in 1944 over France, sending two P-51s and two P-38s on twenty-one sorties with a RAF night squadron. No wonder they couldn't get a good result testing for a single engine night fighter - they were using a twin engined plane (P-38) for the test.

LOL. Well, to be fair, the P-51 was a single engine and the P-38 a single seater (single crew).
