Appologies; the Bell XP-77 had a two-bladed propeller, and in my original
version, I had posted it as a three-bladed propeller. My mistake.
Anyway, it was an extrememly manueverable fighter prototype, constructed
primarily out of wood, in anticipation of aluminum and magnesium shortages.
Two flying prototypes were built and tested, but the by that time, WW2 was
coming to a close, and the project wasn't needed, so the plane never went
into production.
