Neither of those, Sir; but here's a bonus clue to aid your search and reward your participation. Thanks; Ernie P.
What warbird do I describe?
1. This aircraft was one of those which just missed service in the war in which it was designed.
2. It was actually in production at war’s end, but hadn’t actually reached field units.
3. It was put into service a few months after the war ended.
