Vought-Sikorsky Proposal for CP 39-770 was the VS-306. It was a single engine, twin boomed, pusher, pursuit type aircraft. It was to be powered by an P&W R-1830 engine. High speed at 15,000 to 20,000ft at Military Power was guaranteed to be 401mph. High speed at 5.000ft again at Military Power was guaranteed to be 351mph. With a lack of information about this design in the well researched books, the assumption would be this design did not go very far in the competition.

I would dearly love and fervently wish for one of the current Tech Titan Moguls to start an Alexandria Library 2.0 project, both online and in a nuclear proof physical vault, perhaps on the Moon - one of my favorite tech geek fantasies is that *ANY AND ALL* of the Apollo program related blueprints were microfiched and stored away in a hermetically sealed radiation proof container on board of the Apollo 17 LM Lander Stage...
