I saw a super You Tube video about this plane last night and remembered that I had seen one at Air Zoo, the only survivor of the three prototypes produced. The plane flew well at high-speed but poorly at low speed, resulting in crashes of the other two prototypes. Development took too long so that fighters in service towards the end of WWII were already better and it was completely killed off by the jet engine.
