My dear Pioneer- I am afraid that the Bell FM-1 was a technological failure. However, the multiplace fighter was held in high regard by everyone at the time. We would probably have something based along the Curtiss A-18 and Douglas A-20. The problem in this whole scenario is that the continental USAAF was a military without a real mission. Absent a threat from Britain via Canada, there was simply no aerial threat from the technology of the day.
