The Beechcraft XA-38 "Grizzly" was a World War II-era ground attack aircraft, developed by Beechcraft, but never put into production. The Grizzly was to have been fitted with a forward-firing 75 mm cannon to penetrate heavily armored targets. While the first prototype flew on 7 May 1944, testing established that the type would not be ready for the projected invasion of Japan. It also featured the Wright R-3350 engines already in use with the Boeing B-29 Superfortress—which had priority. Consequently, the XA-38 was canceled after a second prototype had been completed.

  • Beechcraft XA-38 Grizzly byl prototyp dvoumotorového těžkého bitevního letounu, který měl ničit obrněné cíle pomocí výkonného kanónu ráže 75 mm. Prototyp poprvé vzlétl 7. května 1944. Záhy ale bylo zřejmé, že typ nebude včas k dispozici pro použití při invazi do Japonska a navíc, že byl projektován se stejnými motory, jaké měl bombardér Boeing B-29 Superfortress, který ovšem měl absolutní prioritu. Z těchto důvodů byl nakonec slibný projekt zrušen. (cs)

  • El Beechcraft XA-38 Grizzly fue un avión de ataque a tierra estadounidense, equipado con un cañón de 75 mm de tiro frontal, para atacar blancos pesadamente blindados. El primer prototipo voló el 7 de mayo de 1944, pero tras las pruebas se hizo obvio que no estaría listo para la proyectada invasión de Japón, y además usaba motores requeridos por el Boeing B-29 Superfortress (que tenía prioridad), por lo que fue cancelado tras construirse dos prototipos.
