The
F-82 Twin Mustang, originally P-82 Twin Mustang, made by North
American, was the last USAF propeller driven fighter.
NitroPlanes
F-82 Twin Mustang.
The idea of the
F-82 Twin Mustang originated during World War II. It
was to be a
fighter aircraft with long range and 2 pilots. It was
reasoned
that a pair of pilots alternating flying the aircraft would
reduce
pilot fatigue on long bomber escort missions.
In the pictures above and below is a F-82 Twin Mustang for
sale NitroPlanes. Wingspan is 70 1/2" and it is 48"
long.

Twin Mustang by NitroPlanes.
In an effort to
product the new
aircraft quickly, North American employed the
existing engines and
fuselages from the original Mustang.
However,
the wing of the F-82
Twin Mustang was completely new.
The design of the aircraft meant that
the pilots would be carried
in separate cockpits.
