My "what if" plane. If only they were built to spec. It wouldn't have been a world beater but perhaps less awful.

The F2A-1 was a nimble little sucker, that's for sure, but I wonder how successful the Swedish FVSS J-22 would've been in the ETO if it had the 2-speed/2-stage supercharged version of the R-1830.
I'd bet on it being very much so.
...as for the last thing I saw on TV? SEAHAWKS! WIN! \\:D/:headbang:=D>:thumbup:

Brings memories of the tales brought back from the Civil Air Patrol Cadet international exchange 1955 to Spain. Those cadets lucky enough to go were given flying lessons by Spanish officers in Bucker Bu 133s. One told me his instructor had a girl friend in a small town and the pilot flew down main street level with the fourth floor of the bank building (tallest in town) where she worked. A second pass was inverted. Another cadet while in flight instruction described the pilot's diving to fly along side a locomotive, circling his hand in the air to race. The cadet described watching the fireman frantically shovelling coal, and just as the train began to pull ahead, the pilot made an abrupt climb -- tunnel. The Spanish Air Force Captain assigned to look after the cadet exchange group was in a body cast from armpits to knees and used crutches. When asked what had happened, he told them he flew his P-51 into a fencepost. I was told of other events, too many to mention here.

Nice stories, just that the P-51 never served in the Spanish Air Force, maybe a Buchón?
