North American XB-28 and XB-28A

[XB-70 Guy]

Can't seem to find the first flight date of the XB-28. Help! Steve Pace

That was 24 April 1942, according to my files. Source is probably Le Fanatique de l'Aviation.

My mistake - I meant for the XB-28A (I had the XB-28) - sorry. -SP

XB-28 first flight on April 24, 1942. Crew: Ed Virgin and Joe Barton.
XB-28A first flight on April 24, 1943. Exactly one year later. Same crew.
