I had heard it set the record for fastest piston powered aircraft at 528 mph. On Wikipedia it says the Corsair was "marginally faster."
Could a Corsair have beat the Bearcat's record?
One thing about the Bearcat. It looks like a bootleg copy of a FW. Which it is. In some ways it takes away from it's speciality.
Soundbreaker Welch? said:So we Americans just took our own design back.
Pretty interesting.

I agree...but I think the success with H-1 gave him confidence that the radial would work for a fighter.
