How about some American and British Planes? I also herd talk of a Meteor, But what do you guys think about a Bell B-59?
Well i'm sorry if i'm being offensive, but The P-59 wasn't exactly very successful.... considering the fact it was powered by TWO JET engines; it had a top speed of only 413 mph... and as we all know late-war SINGLE ENGINED PROPELLER DRIVEN fighters like the P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, Late model Spitfires, Tempest, Me-109 and FW-190 were MUCH FASTER....
