History:Twin-engine heavy fighters were an innovation that emerged out of the pre-WWII period. Their design was meant to allow for greater internal fuel capacity, longer range, and heavier armament. Intended as long-range escort fighters and bomber destroyers, they were often outclassed however by more agile single-engine fighters. Many twin-engine heavy fighters were repurposed as night fighters, often equipped with primitive radar systems.
