S-23A specification for XP-67?

OldGeezer said:

There are a number of places online that show Preliminary Specification S-23A for the XP-67 aircraft, dated 5 May 1941, but the aircraft's Final Report says that changes were made to its contents for the final release version dated 20 July 1942. I've looked everywhere I can think of with no luck at all. Does anyone have a copy of that 1942 version? It seems strange that the preliminary is so readily available but the authoritative specifications are nowhere to be found.

"Mc Donnell XP-67 Aircraft Aircraft Reports Technical Documents Manual"

In the document summary it lists

"Final Report on the XP-67 Airplane," Air Material Command, Wright Field, 31 January, 1946

among others.

Hey OldGeezer,

Have you seen this thread? I do not know if any of this is applicable to the 1942 report you are looking for, but it contains some interesting info:

"McDonnell XP-67 "Moonbat" - Experimental American Heavy Fighter"

And has a link to further info from original documents:

"XP-67 Flight Data – Google Drive"

Also some interesting stuff here:

"[WIP] McDonnall XP-67 Moonbat"

Hey O OldGeezer ,

I ran across this report dated 1942 the other day:

"McDonnell P-67C Engineering Report #236.pdf"

Is this the document you were looking for?
