The F8B-1 is one of my personal favorites; because it's just so... audacious. Build a fighter around the biggest piston engine ever put into true mass production -- the R4360, and then demand that it fly a 850 nautical mile (!!) combat radius in the standardized late war fighter design mission with wing drop tanks and an internal bomb bay fuel tank.

Splendid, Ryan! I like the F8B very much too. Jared's book on the subject is fantastic... Do you have it?
