Great choice!

I know this sounds dumb and cliche, but I'm curious if you were a WW2 pilot and you got you're choice to fly in any plane fighter/bomber/attacker which would you choose and a short reason behind it. If the plane you chose is American, assume you're in the American military same with Britain...

No matter how bad it was, it's still bad ass looking.

Airframes is right, it's a P-2

I bought a book on the P-47 combat missions. Seems like the N was better than the P51 at least on paper.

Blackburn Botha, underpowerd, and unreliable.

Yes twice TPBM has never been to a state fair.

But if you add larger engines for more power, the plane is obviously going to be heavier, and the fastest prop fighters of WW2 and just beyond had large/powerful engines. Obviously the air forces/navies of WW2 thought benefits of larger engines more than compensates for the added weight.

P-47N,
