Not many people know about the MB.157, a French fighter that out-performed anything else at the beginning of WWII. Here is the only prototype completed, in German colors...



quote:

There is still some debates about the real performance of the engine, but rumors say that it is no coincidence that the team that analyzed the engine was the same that also worked on the most powerful versions of the FW-190 engine. Several articles claim that the MB.157's top speed was 441 mph. Even though the aircraft probably didn't carry any armament, this speed would have been exceeding anything that flew at that time.
