XP-67 Moonbat: The Bomber Killer

From Wikipedia:

"The McDonnell XP-67 "Bat" or "Moonbat"[N 1] was a prototype for a twin-engine, long-range, single-seat interceptor aircraft for the United States Army Air Forces. Although the design was conceptually advanced, it was beset by numerous problems and never approached its anticipated level of performance. The project was cancelled after the sole completed prototype was destroyed by an engine fire."

VTOL up to raise nose gear.

Armament: 6 x 37mm cannon


HAPPY FLYING!
