This is my name of my profile, and my fictional Fighter/Torpedo bomber.

Chance Vought A4 Dragon

This is my fictional Fighter/Torpedo Bomber. It is in ways similar to the Douglas A1 Skyraider. This machine is a perfect combination of Speed, Combat Range, Climb Rate, Agility, Armor, and Armament. It has a great acceleration and gets to its maxumum speed in seconds and it has an amazing climb rate. It can successfully take on any fighters the Axis can throw at it, like the Kawanishi N1K Shinden fighter, or the German FockeWulf 190.
