A typhoon would be perfect for 1944 as just about all the faults had been ironed out bar the fumes getting into the cockpit. One pilot quoted this in his report : ' the typhoon could overhaul even the vaunted fw 190 like a train and any attempt to turn or climb merely shortened the process as the typhoon could out turn the 190 on the deck, with 5 degrees flap selected the typhoon could pull extremely tight high speed turns where as the fw 190 if its pilot attempted to match this performance had a nasty habbit of stalling and flicking in the opposite direction to the turn which was invariably fatal at sea level.
I think as this aircraft pulled the german war machine to pieces towards the end of the war it is as deserving as any other to be in the 1944 line up.
