It does indeed, thanks Steve! This shows how no book on any subject can ever be definitive as certain authors manage to dig out stuff that others haven't, and reversely. Only the three books combined give us the whole picture!And so in chronological order we have 1°) USAAF request (late 1943? number?) > 2°) NA-98X Super Strafer proposal (early 1944) and prototype modification > 2°) alternate NA-108X Strafer-Bomber proposal in pamphlet from (March 17, 1944) > 3°) first flight of NA-98X (March 31, 1944) > 4°) crash of NA-98X > 5°) cancellation of whole program by USAAF.It would be interesting to know if other companies responded to that USAAF request for proposals and what the specifics of it were.
