Since the Army Air Force already had the Republic P-47D Thunderbolt in production and operational service powered by the same R-2800 engine, there really was no point to pursuing further development of this aircraft.

Jerrylink Credit Group has made a huge impact in my life. When I was in college, I unfortunately had to rely on my credit cards to help me with my expenses. By the time I finished college, I was unable to pay back a lot of those debts. As a result of that I ended up with a very low credit score and quite a few collections, so I sought out Jerrylink Credit Group. They were able to make a huge impact on my credit score. It went from the 500’s to the 700’s in a couple weeks. I couldn’t believe it. With that help, I was able to do so much more, lower the interest rate on financing my car, and to get approved for a great travel credit card which has really helped us while planning our wedding now. It’s been absolutely wonderful and I’m appreciative because I didn’t believe this process. Recommending as promised, you can reach out to them via: JERRYLINKGROUP@GMAIL.COM or text 626 514 0620.

I was a teenager with Jimmy DeSanto the race pilot who owned the Curtis P60E. While testing the tail came off due to flutter. The claim was that Curtis had some bad parts on the tail assembly causing trim tab and/ or tail section failure In 1946 he bought & raced a P38 after only 23 minutes of flight time in it. He had no previous Warbird flying & self -taught himself using the manual only. There was a story about it in a Wings mag. 1985 with cover stating "Born To Fl"y with photos of the clipped wing P60E.

Cobra, by Birch Matthews, pg 327 describes the crash at the 1947 National Air Races as flown by James C DesSanto experiencing tail flutter due to an elevator trim tab failure. Fortunately he parachuted out safely.

I was an Air Corps Engineering Officer attached to Wright Field, and temporarily assigned to Curtis-Wright, Buffalo, in 1944, and worked on the YP-60 project without success.
Curtis wanted an aircraft that would exceed the P-47.
It was too heavy.

My father, Austin B. Linscott, led a team that designed the landing gear for the YP-60E. He reported that the airplane was sold to a person that entered the airplane in a race. While in the race the aft fuselage, including the vertical and horizontal surfaces, of the aircraft separated in flight, causing the plan to crash.
