"Not just an interesting story of a prototype design at a time when there was so much going on in aircraft development, but many archive images of this futuristic looking design show us what it looked like, and they are accompanied by some more superb artwork by Adam Tooby. Another good value, well researched book from Osprey in their X Planes series." - Robin Buckland, Military Modelscene, "Not just an interesting story of a prototype design at a time when there was so much going on in aircraft development, but many archive images of this futuristic looking design show us what it looked like, and they are accompanied by some more superb artwork by Adam Tooby.

Synopsis
Packed with never-before-seen photos, plans and meticulous new digital artwork, this is the first history of the USAAF's futuristic World War II prototype interceptor, the XP-67 "Moonbat"., The McDonnell Aircraft Company's first-ever clean sheet design, the XP-67 was planned as a high-altitude, high-speed, long-range bomber interceptor. Its futuristic lines promised performance that it was ultimately unable to deliver, as it was still being developed when an engine fire destroyed the only prototype. The disaster left a host of unanswered questions about what might have been, and led to decades of fascination with the XP-67. This book is the first history of the aircraft that launched one of the world's great fighter manufacturers. Over years of research, the authors have uncovered new sources of information and a wealth of photographs and line drawings. These document not just the XP-67 but also its immediate precursors, as well as alternative configurations for unbuilt variants aimed at different missions. Packed with previously unpublished photos of all stages of construction, including key airframe changes made after initial flight tests, this study shows in detail how the final configuration was evolved. Throughout the last century, one-off experimental aircraft and cutting-edge military prototypes have pushed the boundaries of what is possible. Authoritative and accessible, X-Planes is the series that explains the technology behind the world's most important prototype and research aircraft, their often dangerous flight-test careers, and how their successes and failures influenced frontline aircraft development. Each book contains: The best archive photography, Meticulously detailed original artwork, Expert history and analysis Book jacket., Packed with never-before-seen photos, plans and meticulous new digital artwork, this is the first history of the USAAF's futuristic World War II prototype interceptor, the XP-67 "Moonbat". The series of X-planes that sprang from the US Army's Request for Data R40C, focused on high-altitude, high-speed, long-range bomber interceptors. Among these aircraft was the McDonnell Aircraft Company's first ever clean sheet design, the XP67. Its futuristic lines promised performance that it was ultimately unable to deliver, but development was still underway when disaster struck. Just before Army performance demonstration flights were scheduled to begin, an engine fire destroyed the only XP-67 prototype, leaving a host of unanswered questions about what might have been, and leading to decades of continuing fascination with the XP-67 among aviation buffs and aircraft modelers. The authors of this book have uncovered new sources of information and a wealth of photographs and line drawings that document not just the XP-67 but also its immediate precursors within the McDonnell Aircraft design community, as well as alternative configurations for unbuilt variants aimed at different missions. Packed with unpublished photos of all stages of construction including key airframe changes made after initial flight tests, showing in detail how the final configuration was evolved, this volume finally provides clear focus on a story that has long been shrouded in mystery.
