Actually this is NA-73X prototype. Notice the rounded windshield and no cheek guns.

Great photo! There was a long...and drawn out...discussion on the Facebook Mustang page regarding the use of the name "Apache" for the A-36. The conclusion based on various documents dug up by members if the group show It was never formally adopted by the Military. The name does appear in a couple early NAA print advertisements but it never stuck. The A-36 is a Mustang.

I mean a lot of these stock pictures were used in many books. So if perhaps a copied mistake is the origen of the legend name.
