You'd be amazed,
I usually am! Prior to reading "Flight Journal" (last week) I'd always understood that the Roy Grumman concept was to simply nail as small an airframe as they could on to the backside of an R2800, to deliver a lightweight, hard charging fighter; never any mention of the Fw190. Did they ever succeed! I'm sure the gist of that appeared in Stephen Grey's article...

Incidently, is Corky still with us?
