Talk:Bell XP-52

Dating anomaly
There is a dating anomaly in Jones. The sequence of events presented runs: The anomaly is that the XP-59 project was apparently started a week or so after it was already "defunct". The resolution would seem to be either there is a mistaken date here, or that the XP-59 was a spurious project dreamed up solely as a cover story for the jet. Does anybody have access to a source which reveals the truth of the matter? &mdash; Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 12:30, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
