Prototype 1945 Fairey Swordfish III with the MW 50.  It has a top speed of well over 152 mph in a steep dive, climbs at 200 ft per minute with the WEP engaged and is capable of confusing ship gunners because the plane is too slow to be tracked by modern guns.

If put into Aces high this baby would be unstopable until HTC makes the M-1 carbine fireable.

I saw this lady a couple of years ago in Maryland.  Her name is Seiran.

funked, is this the one in the nat'nl air and space overflow in DC? if so, i saw it last summer. man, what a place. we (navel research lab) got a full behind the scenes tour of the place, up close and personal to all kinds of stuff. got to see a b17b and 109 a8 along with a few other very cool planes. great place to visit if you can.
I think these are some of the planes they will be putting in there new building near baltimore.

Hog we were there as well last spring, they will be adding a ton of planes, and to our unfortunate luck we could not see the special room.  This one had the 234, 335, 219 and many other things we wanted to see, still the tour was like 4.5 hours long.  after that was a quick road trip up to Aberdeen proving grounds.  Another great place.
