Perfect "what if" plane

"Wow, I'm glad someone mentioned the Bearcat so I didn't have to risk being a fool...
Anyhow, it is my understanding that the F8F bearcat is the fastest non-jet aircraft ever produced and I'm glad I wasn't alone."


Rarebear, as impressive as it is, doesn't represent a military aircraft.  It certainly hasn't been built in any substantial quantity.  Military-spec F8F's were known more for their outstanding climbing ability than for maximum true level speed.

Its possible that a Merlin powered Twin Mustang could have a slight edge
