Question: What warbird do I describe?

Clues:

1. This aircraft unfortunately came along toward the end of its war; and was therefore immediately an unneeded aircraft.
2. It was, however, an excellent aircraft.
3. The first prototype flew before war’s end, but couldn’t make the required ceiling.
4. The second prototype had a larger wingspan, and was able to make the required altitude.
5. But by then, the war was over.
6. Still, it was put into production and proved to be a capable performer; both as a military aircraft and in civilian hands.
7. It was the fastest military aircraft of its time.
8. Initial deliveries of the aircraft were slow in coming; mainly because the war was over and no one was in all that much of a rush.
9. By the time it was being delivered, the war had been over for several years.
10. Fortunately, it was, for the time, a popular export aircraft.
11. License built versions were built.
12. Racing versions were developed and were successful.
13. It was a single seat fighter aircraft.
