The A-1 Spad is one of the great aircraft ever made, regardless of model.
I had a civilian simulator instructor in flight school that flew Spads...his stories of torque rolling the beast really underlines the incredible power of the A-1, which could carry a tremendous ordinance load with endurance.
The Air Force is actually looking at a very similar, albeit modernized (no doubt turboprop) version for close air support.
Love the Spad, wish I could get twenty minutes of stick time.
