Er - I think the pilot was George Welch - known for being one of only two pilots to get airborne during the Pearl Harbor attack. He is credited with shooting down four Japanes planes on December 7, 16 kills during the war, and went on to break the sound barrier in the F-100 (and die in one a year later).

As for your question - I'm stumped. I would guess the F-105 Thunderchief - they were known for being slow, but I'm pretty sure they had a gattling gun in the nose - maybe not the A series?

Not sure without a Google search - so yours is still the question to answer.

Edited later to include question, to avoid confusion
:
<b>What military F series plane was found to be more aerodynamic in reverse? HINT: The A series was not outfitted with a machine gun because they felt that machine guns were outdated.</b>
