I was thinking... does the space shuttle count? I wonder what kinda performance it would have firing off the rockets and flying in the atmosphere like a regular plane  :devil

I should have mentioned the Sopwith Camel too in my original post.

Wright Flyer
Boeing 707
C-47 (in various guises)
Me 262

Mosquito (couldn't resist)

Basically, looking for "this changes everything" aircraft.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
