There were a lot of weird ones in the run-up to Pearl Harbor, like the
Curtiss-Wright XP-71. A wooden model is as far as it got. Envisioned as a
long-range escort fighter, it would have been larger than the B-25.

That one I knew: another one of the "heavy fighter" family, like the
Me-110. That late-30's mania producecd some weird ones, like the YFM-1
Airacuda...
