Lockheed P-38 Lightning Competitors
In 1936 the US Army Air Corps (USAAC) put out a tender for a ‘Twin-engine, High Altitude Interceptor’ that was designated as ‘X-608’
The winner of this competition would be the Lockheed Model 22 / P-38 Lightning.
But does anyone know of the proposals to ‘X-608’ submitted by the other aviation company’s that the USAAC approached – Boeing, , Consolidated, Curtiss, Douglas and Vultee.
Do you have their designations, technical data, drawings, art work etc…….
