Nearly impossible because it was very advanced for its time, and faster than
any other manned aircraft. It wasn't heavily armed and had a short range,
but it could outrun anything. But quality metals had become unavailable and
fuel was a problem. A few years earlier and who knows?
Well the Tuskeegee Airmen are claiming three of the five that got shot down and another website says that more than 120 of them where shot down during the war. I'm impressed that there are several claims out there.
It's waaay off topic though, and I'd rather meet some people on this list
than him anyway.
So there. Take that ;-)

I'm not sure you would want to meet me or not. I have a sense of humor that often surprises people at times. Once, by navigating through a storm I worked my way on top of Half Dome in Yosemite in a stunt plane. A passenger/friend when answering yes to "Would you like to go down there?" dropped his teeth through the roof of his head when I dropped the right wing and proceeded to dive down the face of Half Dome ten feet away from the face. Having been a rock-climber for more than ten years back then I wanted to see what a falling climber would see after cutting loose during a equipment failure. The fun part was pulling out over mirror lake/meadows with a prop tips that were definitely breaking the sound barrier and then climbing strait up the east side of Washington's Column... then again I might just be kidding again.
