damn not the hornot sorry i mean the horton.GermansRGeniuses said:The Hornet was a super Mossie, a piston plane.
Unless you mean the F-18...
That has nothing to do with WW2 at all, and so doesn't count.

but after the war the meteor became one hell of a fighter, the first to break the 600mph in level flight mark and the backbone of the RAF's day and night fighting capibilities, you can't say it wasn't a good fighter, it just never really got a chance to prove itself in WWII.................
and the germans started their jet program earlier, we didn't really show much interest in the concept early in the war, it was only due to whittles tireless work that the meteor came into service when it did...............
And who knows, the early versions of the Meteor might have been s**t in combat. They probably wouldnt have been though.
but that isnt during the war is it
