06/15/2006. Remarks by Bernhard Klein: "The XP-67 was a single-seat fighter prototype submitted by McDonnell under the 1939 Army Air Corps Proposal R-40C which resulted in the XP-54, XP-55 and XP-56 designs also. Two units were ordered on May 22, 1941. After several failed attempts resulting in modifications being installed, the XP-67 flew for the first time from Scott Field, Illinois, USA on January 6, 1944. The aircraft was destroyed on the ground in a fire September 6, 1944 and the project was canceled before the second aircraft was finished. The initial nickname for this aircraft was 'Moonbat' but over the years it was shortened to 'Bat'."
