Some of these "what ifs" are outlandish, others might well have been built had things gone differently, and some are recognizable as having influenced aircraft that did end up being built. A sampler: *A jet powered flying wing fighter from Bell. Also, a number of unbuilt Airacomet derivatives/alternative designs. *A "Twin Liberator" - two B-24s on a common wing. * A McDonnell design contemporary with and similar to the XP-67 Moonbat, except being of pusher configuration. *Large twin and four engined flying wings from Northrop predating the XB-35. *VTOL F-104 Almost 200 pages, with hundreds of B&W side, top, bottom, frontal, and overall drawings. Lots of potential here for scratchbuilding and kitbashing!
