Thanks. I remember having seen photos of it now. Couldn't have pulled up the name from memory in a hundred years though.

Don't feel bad, I had to go through a dozen permutations of "Navy," "Aircraft," "Prototype" and such in Google searches to get it myself to get the specifics myself!

That XA-38 sure is a handsome machine. With that big cannon in the nose it's vaguely prescient of the A-10.

Larry Ball's book The Immortal Twin Beech has some nice photos of the XA-38, as well as details of military Twin Beech production.
It also discusses the sub contract Beech had for making the complete wing/nacelle sets for Tulsa A-26 production. they made over 1600 sets.

Also, it has a rare photo of an AT-11 in post 1947 USAF markings. I've never seen that before as most books will tell you that the AT-11 were long gone by then.
