Looking good. Remember a 1960s or 1970s air craft magazine article on Ryan Fireball, title was "One turning, one burning". Magazine was one of several Dad would get: don't remember which, Air Progress, Air Classics, Airpower, or another.
Currently available books or booklets on it may come from Squadron and/or Ginter Books.

There is a story of maybe debatable validity where one day around I think it was southern California a Ryan Fireball ended up flying along within sight of a Lockheed P-38 and some not unexpected macho piloting comparisons ensued where at one point the P-38 feathered a prop and kept right on cruising.
Then the Ryan feathered a prop and kept right on cruising ...
