Specs and pics?

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Supposedly it would turn with, or out turn, A6M5s.

And 351mph is not bad at all for an attack bird.

That are nice specs. There would be whining if that bird appeared in AH hehe.
As for carrier born attackers, wasn't the firefly one of them?

And then there was the A-26 ;)

By all means....

Being curious in nature (there's an opening if ever I saw one), I will probably test the A-20G, Boston Mk.III, Ju 88, Ju 87, B-26, B5N and Ki-67.
Certainly those with fixed forward guns....

My regards,
