re: #197 William Lewis
True. And quite a beautiful shape in both the early and later forms.
My favorite warbird though is one I’ve only seen once at the Wright-Patterson museum - the Douglas A-20. Light bomber that was faster than many early war fighters, very maneuverable & flew much like a fighter. They caused a lot of Havoc (heh) in the south Pacific.
For sheer aesthetics, it’s hard to beat the X3.
