North American NA-40 Bomber

The North American NA-40 was a bomber prototype developed for the United States Army Air Force. After the crash of the prototype, the type was cancelled and the Air Force ordered the Douglas A-20 Havoc instead. North American used the NA-40B design to develop the NA-62, which competed for the medium bomber contract and was ordered into production as the B-25.
