Meet the Boeing XF8B-1: the US Navy's massive "Five-in-One" WWII fighter! This experimental beast combined long-range escort, interceptor, dive bomber, torpedo bomber, and level bomber roles in one airframe. Powered by a 3,000 hp Pratt & Whitney XR-4360 Wasp Major engine with contra-rotating props, it was the largest single-engine piston fighter ever built (54 ft wingspan, over 20,000 lbs loaded). First flight: Nov 27, 1944. Only three prototypes made jets took over soon after. Aviation history
