Fictional Story: In 1936, many fighters and bombers were ordered and tested. One of these aircraft was the XM1M Flying Wing, an aircraft built by Thundercraft (a.k.a Thunderscreech) in 1936. 2 were ordered, and one was flown and finished. The second one was cancelled after the flight of the first one was unsuccessful and crashed. It had crashed from extreme yawing from the lack of vertical stabilizers. This is what the second prototype would've looked like if construction continued.
