Caldera, the Boomerang looks like an interesting bird. How did it stack up to the Zeke?

It would get out-turned, just like everything else.  A rather low top speed of 305 means the Zero would run it down too, but it could make a good low alt scrapper.  It's small, highly maneuverable (reportedly more so than a P-40, which turns well) and armed like a Spit V.  Not quite a B-239, but still dangerous to tangle with. 

This thread has some good info:

"Then out spake brave Horatius, the Captain of the gate:
 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."
