Most of us know Beechcraft for its reliable trainers and business aircraft—but what if I told you they also built a fierce ground-attack prototype around a tank cannon?

In this teaser, we scratch the surface of the XA-38 “Grizzly,” a twin-engine warplane that looked like a fighter, hit like a howitzer, and almost made it into WWII. Why was it built, and why did it disappear?

To hear the full story—including its surprising performance, clever design features, and the wartime decisions that sealed its fate—join us over on Patreon for the complete bonus episode and more exclusive content.

Don't mix it up with the A/B-26 Invader! This medium bomber was both knows as a "widow-maker" and was almost cancelled, but also had lowest loss rate of any bomber in the European Theater of Operations?? How did that work?? Let's dive in and find out!

It's a re-release of an earlier episode that dropped off Spotify for some reason. Could we really have a WW2 Warbids podcast and NOT have the Stuka? No Way!!
