[Ivan Putski]

The XP-67 Moonbat was designed as a long range bomber interceptor, it had problems with engine fires, a second prototype was under construction with mixed engines when the project was cancelled. The Xp-67 was no longer needed in it`s intended role, as neither Germany, nor Japan proposed a bomber threat. Many other a/c was cancelled for the same reasons, there was no longer a need for further development, when existing models could do the job.
