JohnMitchell 16 #4 June 6, 2011 Great piece of history. I love those old color films from WWII. That AC was a great technology demonstrator, but actually had a slower top speed than our fastest piston fighters. That's one of many reasons why we never fielded a jet fighter in any WWII theatre. It's fun to see how far we've come since then. Better living thru engineering. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obelixtim 150 #5 June 6, 2011 Saw a Hawker Sea Fury right up the backside of a DH Vampire at an airshow one time. The Sea Fury had serious wheels, and sounded even better....Would love to take one of them for a blast...My computer beat me at chess, It was no match for me at kickboxing....
