Introduction Origins Prototype Design Test and Development Influence on Frontline Types Conclusion Bibliography Index
Packed with never-before-seen photos, plans and meticulous new digital artwork, this is the first history of the USAAF's futuristic World War II prototype interceptor, the XP-67 "Moonbat".

Margaret (Peggy) Mason was a U.S. Air Force public affairs technician, working as a military journalist and photographer for nearly 20 years. She worked for nine years at the Boeing Company in Communications for the company’s International Business Division before retiring in 2012.

Not just an interesting story of a prototype design at a time when
there was so much going on in aircraft development, but many
archive images of this futuristic looking design show us what it
looked like, and they are accompanied by some more superb artwork
by Adam Tooby. Another good value, well researched book from Osprey
in their X Planes series.
*Military Modelscene*
A most worthwhile volume.
