The official story is that back in 1940-41 North American Aviation was requested by the British to build P-40s for them. Engineer Harrison Storms however decided to build a much better aircraft that corrected the P-40 aerodynamic flaws, and the result was the Mustang.

Curtiss answer to NAA's Mustang was the XP-46 / XP-60 - a dog of an aircraft. Curtiss was toast.
