See also the XP-54...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vultee_XP-54

And the XP-56...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_XP-56_Black_Bullet

A trio of experimental aircraft designs that the USAAF looked at as WW-II was ramping up.

Also the Fisher XP-75 while not an experimental, per se, aircraft could fall into this group as well.

Interesting. I knew about the XP-54 and XP-75.

Didn't know about that little XP-56. A 2K HP engine in that little airframe would have made it quite zippy.

Thanks.
