    "Brewster XA-32. Intended to be a single-seat attack aircraft with an internal bomb bay. While the two prototypes were powered by the R-2800 radial, the production examples were supposed to have the R-4360. Dismal flight performance doomed the program, and the Brewster company was dissolved by 1946."

    I swung twin .50s like that setup. I found that loading one gun with tracers was efficient and gave me more lead-on-target as well.
