The Super-Fighter That Was Betrayed By Its Engine | Vultee XP-54 [Aircraft Overview #68]
Today we’re taking a look at the Vultee XP-54, unofficially nicknamed the Swoose Goose, which was an experimental fighter that was developed at the start of the 1940s. It came from the same US Army specification that led to the development of the equally experimental Bell XP-52, Curtiss XP-55, and Northrop XP-56.
