    XP-67 Specification S-23A?

    I'm looking for a copy of the final version of the XP-67's Specification S-23A, from July 1942. There are lots of copies of the Preliminary version dated May 1941 but I really need the final, and I've had zero luck finding it anywhere. Anyone have a copy they could share?

    Am I imagining things, or does Sweden's FFVS J 22 look like the radial powered Bf 109 V21 of 1938-39?
