The Kreider-Reisner XC-31 was a transport aircraft developed for the USAAC. The single engine, fabric covered design was was not ordered into production, with the USAAC preferring twin engined metal covered designs such as the Douglas DC-2. Kreider-Reisner was purchased by Fairchild in 1929, with the XC-31 also being referred to as the Fairchild XC-31.

The Douglas XB-19 project was intended to test flight characteristics and design techniques for giant bombers. Despite advances in technology that made the XB-19 obsolete before it was completed, the Army Air Corps believed the prototype would be useful for testing despite Douglas Aircraft wanting to cancel the expensive project. Its construction took so long that competition for the contracts to make the XB-35 and XB-36 occurred two months before its first flight. The plane first flew on 27 June 1941, more than three years after the construction contract was awarded. In 1943 the Wright R-3350 engines were replaced with Allison V-3420-11 V engines. After completion of testing the XB-19 was earmarked for conversion into a cargo aircraft, but modifications were not completed, and the aircraft flew for the last time on August 17, 1946. It was eventually scrapped at Tucson in June 1949.

The North American P-64 was the designation assigned by the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) to the North American Aviation NA-68 fighter, an upgraded variant of the NA-50 developed during the late 1930s. Six NA-68s ordered by the Royal Thai Air Force were seized before export by the US government in 1941, after the Franco-Thai War and growing ties between Thailand and the Empire of Japan. These aircraft were used by the USAAC as unarmed fighter trainers.

First flying on 22 December 1936, the North American B-21 Dragon was a medium bomber designed for the United States Army Air Corps. Although having superior performance to it’s competitor the Douglas B-18 Bolo, it was considerably more expensive. As a result and although a small batch of evaluation aircraft were ordered, only the prototype was built.

The Republic XP-69 was an American fighter aircraft proposed by Republic Aviation in 1941 in response to a requirement by the United States Army Air Corps for a high-speed fighter. Although the design was ordered as a prototype it was cancelled because of delays with the engine that was to power it.
