Country: | Got it quicker than I thought you would. What gave it away? Couldn't have been the caption... Perhaps it was saying that it was US and that it never saw service...

Country: | I have seen that picture before and so it was easy enough to find again (I remembered the site I saw it on) so I just went there...
Anyone can post one as I don't have one.

Country:  | Well it had US roundels on it and it is a rather obvious prototype aircraft. Here are a few more pics of it that I have on my computer.

Country: | Yep she is!
The XP-67 was a somewhat revolutionary design by McDonnell Aircraft. It used two turbo-charged engines whose exhaust was ejected at the rear of the engine nacelle, providing some additional thrust. The pilot was to sit in a pressurized cabin, and the plane's armament was very heavy for a fighter (six 37mm cannon in one prototype, and a 75mm cannon in another prototype). When viewed from above the aircraft had an unusual profile, in that the engine nacelles and fuselage were shaped to provide true aerofoil sections throughout. The first flight was made in January 1944, with testing undertaken later that year. Performance proved to be far from satisfactory, and modifications were made to improve certain stability problems. Before official trials could resume, however, the prototype was extensively damaged by fire and the program was abandoned.
