Curtiss-Wright P2 Warhawk

 
A plane with the weight of it's engines at the tip of the wings ought not to pull Gs very well. At the same time, she looks like a racer. Giving her a speed of 3 and only a two G, she is now a fast gunship, all style in the manner of the Broadway Bombers.

Further, by lightening the plane, acceleration can be improved without sacrificing any structural strength.
