Consolidated-Vultee XA-41

The XA-41 was initially designed in November 1942 as a dive bomber. This role was changed to low level ground attack in the spring of 1943 after experience showed that the dive-bomber was less effective than previously thought. Only one prototype was built before the program was cancelled and this was later used as an engine testbed.
