And that is the exact reason why i think that the mossie was the best plane of WWII. It was fast, cheap, VERY versatile, easy to make because of the wood (that meant that furnature manufacturers could be sub-contracted, not disrupting the aircraft industry,) strong and looks cool. The large engines just besides the cockpit make it look really beefy. And because of the weight, or rather lack of weight, it did not have the manouverability issues the P-47 did. Plus, get the right variant (or the hornet) then you can pack one hell of a punch.
