Douglas P292 info sought

[ACResearcher]

I have copies of the original Inboard Profile drawings of the Douglas P292 and am seeking more info/drawings.

What appears clear from the drawings is that this was a tricycle landing gear heavy bomber project borrowing - at least in part - from the B-23 (primarily the tail with the addition of a tail gun position). My guess is that this was a project that eventually led to the Douglas Model 332, their entry for the R40B project that resulted in the B-29 and B-32.

Any additional information and drawings are greatly appreciated.

With thanks,

My dear Alan,

did you mean Douglas D-292 ?.

 

[ACResearcher]

Hesham,

It is conceivable. The Douglas internal nomenclature can be Byzantine in its complexity and projects MIGHT have more than one identifier.

The original plans of which I have a copy are clearly labeled P292. Do you have something on a D-292?

[hesham]

No,I haven't my dear Alan,

but so weird,even early drawings to Douglas was never allocated this designation "P" ?.

 

[ACResearcher]

Actually, I have a variety of Douglas projects with the "P" designation.

As I said, the nomenclature practices within Douglas varied quite a bit.
