US 1930s Prototype

[starship1]

Before my 'puter crashed in January, I had info on a US prototype fighter.  It was a twin seat, low- or mid-wing, turbocharged fighter.  When my hard drive went south, I lost everything on it.  I'm hoping that the membership might have info so that I can rebuild my file.  Many thanks in advance.

I  am assuming single engine?

Try going through this list, looks like several that could fit your description.

Yes it was a single engine.  I didn't see in the group.  I remember that the rear seat person had an open cockpit even though it was supposed to operate at higher altitudes.

Actual or Whif?

There was the Y1P-25 that led to the P-30A (PB-2A).

It was an actual.  That might be it although the engine doesn't look quite right.
