I believe the Fokker never entered service, therefore technically excluded. & 326 isn't much to be exited about. & the aircraft mentioned above are still open to debate as to whether they were indeed faster than the Arrow. XP-72 & P-51 H were not in the war, so as well technically excluded. Fury was a bit late too as I understand.


Now, with the delay of this machine, it is very understandable why Galland was so frustrated with Goering & the dupes above who called the shots.

Maximum speed: 413 mph (sustained), 477 mph (emergency boost)
Service ceiling: 37,400 feet (A-1), 33,400 feet (A-6)
Maximum range: 1280 miles, 2330 with external drop fuel tanks

477,if that is the real number, is better than P-47-N or M.
