It's not a WWII plane. Almost, but to late. It does kick major butt though. I mean, how awesome is a plane that has upwards of 3000 Hp, 18 cylinders, and each cylinder is 360ci. Oh, and it looks cool too.

you forgot to praise the guns

We already have fast planes that turn well. Some P47s P51D....the F4U series all have very good speed and good turn rate. Oh...forgot the La7.

P38 fairly fast and turns well also....Ki84...sheeesh the list goes on.

You can have your sea fury when I have my F-86 and MiG-15!

Jets stink! There is nothing like big radial engines. They are the best.

Also FWIW, the Fury (as opposed to Sea Fury) saw combat in the 1948 Israeli War of Independence. The Iraqis had a number of them.

The only engagement I heard of with Iraqi Furies was when it jumped an Israeli Beufighter and augered chasing it down to tree tops. The beufighter was piloted by an RAF veteran volunteer.

The Fury pilot must have survived and is flying La7s in the MA today. I recognize his flying style.
