    Caproni Vizzola "Arciere II" twin-boom fighter project (1943)

    Looking at these beautiful company drawings, one could think the designers at Caproni had seen the Vultee XP-54... But then again, it could just be the old "form follows function" routine, with separate teams reaching the same conclusions following the same requirements... I can't find any...

    Why no three engined heavy fighters in WW2?

    Maybe it is a trivial question, but hear me out. Before WW2, multiple countries designed/built fast, 2-engine heavy fighters (like the Italian IMAM Ro.57). Italy, as many smaller nations, struggled because after the war broke out, they couldn't mass-produce new, high-performance aircraft...
