The RAF didn't really have confidence in it with the Allison. In

high level performance was poor so it wasn't a good fighter choice. IIRC
the RAF
used the Allsion engined version for ground attack a bit where the
failings
weren't so obvious.


Used as a dive bomber no less, A-36 Invader I believe was its name
