Bell XP-52, XP-59 and XP-77 fighter aircraft

The Bell XP-52 (Model 16) twin-boomed pusher aircraft was one of a number of unusual designs for fighter aircraft produced in the United States during the Second World War.
The Bell XP-59 (Model 16) was the designation given to a short-lived project to produce a twin-boom pusher fighter powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engine.
The Bell XP-77 was a lightweight wooden fighter aircraft produced to solve a problem that never materialised.
