Fisher continued development of the P-75's design with the heavily-modified P-75A as a long-range escort. By the fall of 1944, however, the U.S. Army Air Force had capable escort aircraft like the P-51 Mustang and P-47 Thunderbolt, and they canceled the order for 2,500 P-75As. Only eight XP-75s and six P-75As were built.
