Beechcraft XA-38 Grizzly Prototype Bella + Canvas Hoodie

The Beechcraft XA-38 Grizzly was a World War II era prototype ground attack aircraft that promised to be a formidable force. Designed in the early 1940s, the Grizzly was equipped with a pair of powerful Wright R-3350 Duplex-Cyclone engines, which allowed it to achieve impressive speeds and carry a heavy armament load, including a 75mm cannon, a groundbreaking feature for aircraft of its time. Although only two prototypes were built, the XA-38 showcased advanced design features and demonstrated significant potential in ground attack roles. Its development was ultimately halted due to the end of the war and the prioritization of bomber aircraft. The Grizzly remains a fascinating example of innovative aircraft design and a testament to the rapid advancements in aviation technology during the World War II era.
