The P-38 immediately comes to mind. All models except the YP-38, the P-38, and the P-38 D had one 20mm plus 4 .50 cal. guns.
The export version of the P-39, the P-400, had a 20mm. plus 2 .50cal plus 4 .30cal guns.
If you consider the P-61 a true fighter, it had 20mm. also.
These came to mind, there may be others that carried 20mm in some variants.
Regards,
Hugh

Some models of the P-39 were equipped with a 20mm gun.

"GLACIER GIRL" the P-38 recovered from the Greenland Icecap had a 20 MM Cannon, which was set up and fired shortly after its recovery from the ice after some 40 years of being burried.
