Description

The McDonnell XP-67 "Moonbat" is a fascinating and little-known chapter in aviation history. This book brings together never-before-seen photos, plans, and digital artwork to tell the story of the USAAF's futuristic World War II prototype interceptor. Developed by the McDonnell Aircraft Company, the XP-67 was one of several X-planes designed to counter high-altitude bombers. Its unique design promised exceptional performance, but development was cut short when a prototype caught fire just before its maiden flight. The resulting loss has left many questions unanswered, fueling decades of interest among aviation enthusiasts. This book sheds new light on the XP-67 and its predecessors, as well as alternative configurations for unbuilt variants. With unpublished photos and detailed line drawings, it provides a unique insight into the design process and the aircraft's evolution.
