The classic turkey: The Fisher XP-75 Eagle -- supposed to become an
escort fighter, built from parts of several production aircraft.


I can't think of the reference right now, but I remember reading that
one of the purposes of the P-75 program was to give GM(?) a reason to
stay out of the B-29 program - so the Eagle was not entirely a
failure!

Who ever came up with that line should be collecting royalties.
