>> "The YF-43B is listed in a test pilot's bio. He also flew the X-169A." Can you give any additional details here? Like a time frame? Or a link to the pilot's bio, in case it is online (ok, probably not)? I would like to update my humble table at https://www.designation-systems.net/usmilav/coverdesignations.html , and some tangible information always looks nice ;-). Also, if YF-43B is really confirmed to have existed (so far, I had it noted down only as a vague rumor), it could explain, why they didn't use 43 for the CCAs.
