Here's a few:
TBD Devastator
F2A Buffalo
B-32 Dominator
F-111B
F11F Tiger
AM-1 Mauler
F-20 Tigershark
YB-40 and YB-41 gunships of B-17 and B-24
Mitushibshi A7M
Me-163 (killed more of its own pilots than Allied aircrew)
TBY Seawolf
F-90
F-107
F-108
The F-108 was cancelled because 1. $$$$ and 2. that's about the time
something better came along - the YF-12A. Which was also never
purchased.
