Good answer, Sir; but not where we're headed. Here's a bonus clue and a regularly scheduled afternoon clue. Thanks; Ernie P.
What warbird do I describe?
1. This aircraft, unlike my last offering, was a success.
2. In fact, it was very successful.
3. It was produced in the thousands.
4. And flown by many nations.
5. With a number of different engines.
6. Both during the war in which it came to prominence and afterwards.
7. It was supposedly the first the first mass produced aircraft to utilize a new construction technique.
8. Although that depends upon a rather narrow definition of mass production.
9. But there is no arguing that it was a very successful design.
10. It was fast; in fact, very fast for the time.
11. And, considering its size, it was noted for being quite agile.
12. It was often capable of outrunning its opposition.
