The G-1 was a model that was copied in later foreign models like the Focke Wulf Fw-189 Uhu [1937] and the Lockheed P-38 Lightning [1937]. Although earlier twin-boom designs had been seen, the designers of both planes admitted that the G-1 design had tempted them to copy the concept into their respective new fighter-cruisers designs. The P-38 would be by far the most successful twin-boom design of them all.

Fighter Cruiser....

Ok when I think of Cruiser, I picture something with the top down.

I mean, its kinda like seeing an M1A1 tank cruising down the street of your local hood with the turret slewed 90* blasting music like "go shorty, its your birthday"
