The XF-12 was referred to as an aircraft that was "flying on all fours" meaning: four engines, 400 mph cruise, 4,000 mile range, at 40,000 feet. Although highly innovative, the postwar XF-12 Rainbow was fated to compete against more modern jet engine technology and was not to enter production. The original proposal for the aircraft, delivered in late 1943, came from the USAAC Air Technical Service Command, stationed at Wright Field.
