The Beechcraft XA-38 Grizzly was a United States ground attack aircraft fitted with a forward-firing 75 mm cannon to attack heavily armored targets. The first prototype flew on 7 May 1944 but after testing it became obvious it would not be ready for the projected invasion of Japan and furthermore it used engines required by the Boeing B-29 Superfortress — which had priority – and so it was canceled after two prototypes had been completed.
