Re: Why the USAAF gave up on the A-36 in favour of the P-47.
Quoting Bowman verbatim (Crowood): "That December another new bomber specification B.18/38 was issued, but it was of no interest to de Havillands, who persevered well into 1939 with the idea of a fast unarmed bomber".
As a matter of fact, the DH.98 was ordered against specification B.1/40, that was tailor-made for the Mosquito.
