Hughes H-4 Greyhound
The H-4* was the intended replacement for the aging Hound-dog but the plane's original performance was really no better or worse than the Hound-Dog, the plane was then re-engine with a British built Rob Roy Marlin engine and the plane performance was greatly enhanced.
The Greyhound had an extra fuel tank behind the pilot thus giving the plane great endurance. Armament was 2x50 Cal MG's above the engine 2x50's in each wing root and 2x50's in an underwing pod on each wing
The Hughes H-4 never fully replaced the Hound-dog as the US bombing campaign seriously reduced the GSA ability to mass produce weapons to counter the very same bombing campaign.
* OTL Bell P-39 Aircobra, the Greyhound is my idea of TL-191's version of the P-51 Mustang.
