No; but a really, really good guess. Here's a late morning clue. Thanks; Ernie P.


Question: What WWII aircraft do I describe?

Clues:

(1) Really, really, fast for a propeller driven aircraft.

(2) Only two prototypes were completed. Testing results were so impressive, with such exceptional performance, an order was placed for 100 production aircraft.

(3) The order was cancelled, because it was felt other types of aircraft were needed more.

(4) This aircraft was to be an interceptor; and it was decided priority must be given to longer range fighters.

(5) Power, a lot of it, was delivered by an experimental liquid cooled radial engine.

(6) The first prototype flew for the first time in early 1944. The second prototype flew in mid 1944.
